Wine list rotated in the ccr. The Fieuzal has been replaced by the Cantemerle (both are very good) and the white Bourgogne is a St Romain

Yup. In GF now and been told it is no more by the lounge staff. Not sure how much they know or are told but I saw some boxes being prepared for the bar area…. Not out on the help yourself area though!

Also, no Palmer out on the counters. Got to ask for it. Loads of complaints I hear……

Seems LGW GF is the place to be. Much better than LHR.

Current wine offers in CE?

Evening all. Can anyone tell me what they’re pouring in CE at the moment? Mrs OB is very particular, especially with the whites…

Nothing very good, to be sure. You should check the long-running CE catering thread on this board for more specifics. CE Catering Thread

I don't read that thread any longer after having had posts removed and being "publicly shamed" for pointing out the shortcomings of the wine and cheese offerings on those flights.

I wouldn't take it personally if someone offers an opposing view to yours, we all have our own individual tastes ... people tell me Dom Perignon is a great champagne, I think it tastes like effervescent cats pee ... but that doesn't stop others enjoying it! FlyerTalk thrives on diversity of opinion. It would be a very boring place if we all agreed all of the time!

Very disappointing if it has gone, though not entirely surprised given the volumes BA would need for GF. Will they replace with another rosé Champagne is the question?!

I don't take much of anything personally, I just don't waste my time on threads where people take the subject (what gets served on short haul business flights), or themselves, too seriously. That thread is toxic.

Thanks for the pointer, that told me what I needed to know… you’re right, it’s not terribly inspiring. Whites retailing for £8 and under… I know it’s not all about price when it comes to wine quality but honestly, a couple of quid more and they could be pouring something that’s actually nice.

Maybe a cheaper Rose (Lansons was a grade above the white) - or a rose english or prosecco. Who knows!

Speaking of the CE wines, I'm almost certain that they don't stock creme de cassis onboard, but is there something else they have that you could add to the Nicky Foo / NF Champagne that would make it into a "pseudo Kir?" Do they stock any bitters and would that mix well? I think the NF is the best of a rather unimpressive lot, and if there was something you could do to it, to make it more interesting, that would be a huge plus.
