Exclamation Oxidized Undrinkble Wines

17 th October CDG-BKK

Emirates has a major problem with their white wines. 2 superb wines Boillot 2014 ( great vintage wines still vibrant) Meursault and 2012 Batard Montrachet Louis Latour ( easy 500$ bottle) were both dark brown and totally oxidized. This is not the first time I have had this issue but this is the worst I have seen. Staff puzzled and apologetic of course.

A similar bottle of Meursault in the FC lounge was barely drinkable but a vast improvement on the wine served on board..

Emirates are aging their whites too long for the trauma they must go through in the supply chain. Only drinkable white was a Greuner also served in J Class. What a waste of money for everyone.
