Why compile a list? CO has one here. I can't decide if it is ignorance or arrogance that leads them to put it up on the website. I sure wouldn't be proud to advertise this list. But, I guess I respect the full disclosure.

For our OP, I would stick with the Bordeaux wines if you want something big. But, the Pavillon Bel Air LaLande is not a particularly well-regarded wine so hopefully that isn't the wine they load onto your flight.

Avoid the Teltecas, it is strictly a table wine, as is Straccali.

The Lindemans is strictly supermarket grade wine as is the Kendall-Jackson. The Hess is slightly higher quality and is probably the best of the New World wines.

Good luck.
