I have seen premier cru White Burgundy and Grand Cru Bordeaux / claret in the Club lounge (south) at T5. Perhaps the wine was for one of the other lounges.
I have not seen quality wine at Gatwick for many years, I do remember being given a bottle of Piper H. At Gatwick 9 years ago for a group of us flying CE to Naples...

Would it make sense (at least for those who can) to keep the wiki up to date with whether the lounge is open and who they're admitting?
Am on the CX flight later this month and would prefer to use the BA lounge rather than No. 1, but I presume it won't be classified as a OW lounge until they're letting CE pax in...

I think you will be OK though. If it's open, it's a oneworld lounge, particularly if you have BAEC status.

I am flying ex LGW with CX in 3 weeks time and hope to be able to use the BA lounge. I checked with the FTers on the CX forum who agree that, capacity allowing, it shouldn't be a problem. Of course this is assuming that the Club Lounge is then open to all who are eligible under the One World Alliance rules. Thank you to CWS for making the LGW lounge merry go round that bit more understandable!

So if the plumbing holds out, I think you should be OK for the new lounge.

Well I'm interpreting perthflyer's intelligence as boding well for you:

Is the route clearly marked now or do I still need your cunning map!

I was there about 5pm this evening, headed to Speedbird to find a large sign saying the temporary lounge is now closed and directing me to the new lounge.
First and Club were both open with no sign of anything amiss.
I was in club and somewhat pleasently suprised. Its airy and spacious. Still not in the same league as CX in T3 but nicer than T5 south or north.
Is there evening hot food? Cornation chicken sandwiches ran out at 17:30 and tuna didn't seem far behind (I overheard chef). Since there are few late evening flights I was wondering if chilli or pasta would make an appearance.
Champers much easier to get hold of as staff were approachable and in reasonable numbers. They were also freindly, which isn't my experience of T5 (South particularly...).
As I've said elsewhere I'm going to miss No1 lounge and their food.
Bit off topic but overall I prefered the LGW North terminal over the last year to the new setup in South. Bused off domestic flights makes getting into London slower and South has longer distance to gates (which are totally unable to manage a priority queue). Hey ho
