Stopped drinking wine on planes a while ago (well, o.k., now that UA has premium reds in Polaris ... I have been drinking again
) and unless you fly EK you are not going to consistently get premium reds in F.
Would I pay $15k for TATL F on LH - hell no. Is it perfectly adequate if I can get US-EU-Asia for $9k ... I'd say so.
Booze is not always sad, it’s the mix of great and terrible that bothers me.
Just had several bottles of Deutz and the Riesling and the Spaetburgunder aren’t bad either. Happy camper rn, but nobody knows what the next cycle will bring.
Main (veal cheeks?) wasn’t too bad either and a lot of meat.
Whether LH F is acceptable or not (for an F product) depends a lot on price and “soup of the day”.
