I had Sir WC 86 on a Concorde flight in 2003, it's a lovely wine and safe to say i was a bit wobbly when i got off. I'm pretty certain i had a full bottle along with the Red, White and Port... If i remember correctly the JFK CCR on that day had Taittinger or some similar 15 bottle of Champagne which even as a 21 year old i was disappointed with...
Now I happened to misread that. I read "the JFK CCR today had Taittinger or some similar 15 bottle of Champagne which even as a 21 year old i was disappointed with"
So for a minute I thought you were 10 when you did that concorde flight!

In fact I was onboard QR when you were there. 
LondonElite and layz I polished off a bottle of Krug, a half of d'Yquem 08 and 3 glasses of 1974 Kopeka Colheita port. I reckon about 30% of the total cost of my CAI-DOH-LHR ticket.

Perrier-Jout Belle Epoque was in the T4 CCR and onboard in May 2003 in the good old days of the LIS flights.I can also remember Piper Heidsieck Rare being on board a few years back.On my one and only rocket flight it was 85 Dom August 94.

I have had Piper Rare on SQ J before.
Ah the Rocket service, of course you could never guarantee which fizz they would have onboard that day as they were chosen from a wide selection in the Concorde Cellar. All on the list were pretty stellar though.
The Concorde Cellar still exists. Following a little Gayla at Waterside I left with a present of two bottles of red from said cellar. The Gevry Chambertain is still drinking well.

What's the pink Champagne in the CCR at the moment, didn't have any when in there recently (too early, even for me), but has been Bollinger whenever I've been in there since my first visit in 2011

I miss the Cattier Clos de Moulin most. BA bought that entire vintage mix. There really aren't that many proper "clos" (historically walled off single vineyard), and the fellows who make it are smart enough not to waste it on conspicuous consumers - Cattier make "Ace of Spades" (although JayZ owns most of the economics), and for that they use a souped up version of the their 20 NV (also packaged in cheap gold foil, that's how Jay-Z's guys found them). No Clos de Moulin juice is wasted on Ace of Spades (unlike Cristal where Roederer really do put their best stuff in)
