Hello EK wine experts. I've enjoyed perusing this thread ahead of a couple of Emirates flights I have coming up, one in business class, the other in first. If possible it'd be good to get some recommendations on what I should try. I enjoy wine but don't really have the capacity to drink my way through the menu, so I'm looking to make the most of the experience of each flight and focus on what's particularly special (particularly if there are any real stand-outs) and what I should avoid (though I'm sure none of them are bad). For reference I'm not a big fan of Chardonnay (particularly the big and buttery or heavily oaked), so I'll likely avoid the Aussie Chardonnay. Like most Kiwis I'm partial to a good Sauv Blanc, but I grew up on Craggy Range so I'm likely to avoid that too. Reds I'm happy drinking anything, from a soft and delicate Pinot Noir through to a bold Shiraz/Syrah or Cab Sauv. Not a fan of overly sweet or fortified etc so I've left off the dessert wines and port. I'll have maybe one glass of Dom on the first class flight but don't like drinking too much fizz on flights.

These are the respective menus, thanks in advance!
