I haven't checked the rest but that Burgundy appears to sell at around 50 euros a bottle. Perhaps you have deeper pockets than me
You are right of course, I had not checked that one. I had a cheese plate (one of my favourite things) and the crew were really insistent I had a glass of that Bordeaux, although it was 3 in the morning somewhere. It was very pleasant. Smooth with a lot going on. I do not have hugely big pockets in the whole scheme of things and do not come from a family background that could afford or knew about wine, so fancy wines on planes has always been a real treat. It is not that many years ago I had my first glass of chablis (Oman Air thank you) and developed a taste for that. All downhill (uphill?) since then 😝
