The cheapest champagne on The Wine Flyer is £35.99. Your average bottle of champagne will contain 9 units of alcohol, Scotland's minimum alcohol price (the highest in GB) is 65p per unit, meaning the minimum price The Wine Flyer could charge is uhm... £5.85. So like many BA excuses, this one doesn't fly!
