This is quite interesting, as it is the very first time - ever - that I experience EK running out of a particular wine. For context, I must have flown hundreds of sectors in F over the years. I hope it's just a coincidence and not a change in the way they manage stock and inventory.
777 or A380?
They ran out of the DP Rose 2008 on a 777 earlier this year (after a fair share of glasses to be fair), but never had the issue on A380s so I wonder whether they load much more conservatively on 777s.
