1. Be careful what you wish for.
2. Every form of refuge has it's price (Eagles, 1975).
3. In 50 years this experience won't matter.
I hope you had a good flight/trip, and that the wine was "acceptable". ^

Was this the pre-flight drink or the in-flight drink? My experience from my Platinum days with NWA/DL was that they served their pre-flight drinks in plastic cups and the in-flight in glass.

Even on AC they'll pour your drink into a plastic cup for take-off. If you're like me and board at the last possible minute and then have to flag down the FA to say you would still like a pre-flight drink you sometimes get it in a plastic cup if the plane is about to push back.

sorry, but the wine AC serves in J is going to taste the same in a plastic cup or a silly O glass. 
i remember drinking some 1995 Harlan Estate out of a styrofoam cup....tasted pretty darn good. i would take better wine if AC could save some cash and use plastic - i mean, these are pretty nice to travel into pretty exotic locales to have something nice to drink out of....http://www.govinowine.com/press.html
