Has anybody else been experiencing an unusual amount of tainted bottles onboard recently? Around mid March I first came across a bottle of P2 and one of Latour Corton-Charlemagne that had gone bad. I am not a wine professional, but based on my experience it seemed due to overheating - they tasted oxidised and sour. I didn't think much of it, until this started to become a regular occurrence. I've done 18 or so sectors in the past 3 months, and I am afraid to say that a staggering half of the bottles of white were gone: again a bottle of P2 back in late March, then a couple of Latour Corton-Charlemagne, probably two or three of Cos D'Estournel Blanc, and several of Domaine De Chevalier Blanc. No issues with reds. It breaks my heart to throw away good wine, but the bottles I got served were just undrinkable. Even more worryingly, other passengers were actually drinking them, but that doesn't overly surprise me...

This got me wondering whether I was just very unlucky (entirely possible), or if EK has been having some sort of storage issue (perhaps during the pandemic?). Just curiosity really, as in every instance the crew was more than happy to open another bottle (which in most cases except two instances was fine).
