I always travel with a corkscrew. It's attached to the house keys on a key ring. Never had any problems with airport security:
True-Utility-Corkscrew
It's quite robust and does the job. Travelled with it for 3 years now.

It can often be better than the food onboard even in F. For the sake of 12.50 you have a guarantee that you will have something you like to eat too. In the context of dropping a few thousand pounds on a flight this is cheap "insurance" that you will have something you like to eat.
Now that dinner in CE amounts pretty much to 3 small prawns on some lettuce, I may pick up my Plane food habit again. It is just a shame there isn't an outpost at LCY although Panopolis have takeout picnic boxes.
I used to do this all the time.

Life before the liquid ban, BYOB in 2003, posted on Airline Meals, but my pics, both on AA F...
Ch d'Yquem 1990, glass mega over-filled
Pichon Baron 1997, over-filled glass again (ISTR the meal was from J because the food/wine match was better. what a winetard I am!)

Why?

Riedel Os [well, the toughened restaurant ones] sound like a good idea for airlines. BA F glasses are of calvinist proportion I presume mainly to force thirsty customers to pace themselves (no one wants pissed pax) and not to deplete an expensive, constrained resource (the sauce), I doubt enjoyment of the contents really figured much in the design plan.
Speaking as a wino, QR's J product is really good - Lanson '99 fizz and then 2009 Brane Cantenac, 2008 Grand Puy Lacoste, etc

Done that as well.
Brought my own lobster, other forms of seafood and even had an 'Afternoon Tea survival kit' made up by one of the Deli's in Stockholm.
I asked for a tray without the sandwiches an laid up my own meal on the plate.
When the cabin crew where dispensing the trays with afternoon tea, one of my fellow passangers pointed to my tray, and said that he'd rather have same as I was having.
I turned to my fellow passanger and told him it was a crew meal, but sometimes, if you asl nicely, some crew member may agree to swap.
The CC within earshot ran off to the galley and a lot of laughter and giggeling was heard, before they reapeared several minutes later.
