Did AA eliminate champagne in business?
I'm on JFK-MAD, and the wine list has a prosecco on it. Is this change permanent?

Had the same list DFW-LHR and back a few weeks ago. It’s all honestly undrinkable swill. I stuck to Glenlivet.

Pathetic offerings - they should be embarrassed.

The wine list is never permanent, we'll see how long it stays for.

It is funny because they stepped up the J offerings last summer (relatively speaking) then adjusted in the fall.

that requires the concept of shame.

For someone that rolled out Oasis while financially underperforming everyone else despite having God status at the #1 markets...

That’s not Prosecco. That’s a sparkling wine from Trentino.
Prosecco is made in the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions to the east of Trentino.

AAs target US demographic consumers won’t really care.

The people who do care will be flying foreign carriers in a heart beat.

Welp, there's a sure way to make sure that continues to be true...

Horrendous. AA has never been on my priority 1&2 list for TATL, but now it is on the 'do not fly list'!!!

Ferrari can be found for ~$30 retail, and is a tad lower than Ernest Rappeneau @$35 and far lower than Duval Leroy @$45. All of which were found in J this year.

Wine Spectator gives it a 90 rating which classifies it as "outstanding." I had some last week from MAD-DFW and found it perfectly fine.

How about American Sparklings?
This is ridiculous. The name is "American" and there are some excellent sparkling wines that can be had from California or other parts of the US. Gloria Ferrer comes to mind and can be had for less, even at current retail, and AA can do better.

Or they can have some excellent Crements and other sparklings less than that.

Not that I was looking to use AA to fly anywhere but now they go on the definite no fly list for International J.
