It just shows how Delta is continuing its migration to "flashy" and "influencer-driven" rather than an actual premium airline with quality products. Coasting on names alone might drive some traffic, but influencers are fickle.
Agreed,... Visited the Taittinger House and chalk caves below a few years back during a WWII tour of the area. Was neat to see all of the graffiti from two World Wars and other conflicts that crossed the area scribbled into the chalk. We did a full tasting there and enjoyed a couple of the reserve bottles and vintages... Just will nice to see these bottles on my upcoming flights as opposed to the usual Prosecco swill they sling as PDBs.
