Looks like they've upped their game significantly in T3 recently. Wonder if that's a ploy to try and halt what must be an expensive stream of Golds heading for the Cathay F lounge!

Haven't traveled ot of T3 for a month and a half, so nor first-hand observations. The recent reports of increased wine quality in this thread, together with the bill CX provides BA for their customers visiting the CX lounge, says you're probably spot on here.

Hardly a reason to go there instead of the Cathay F lounge.

Quite! We didn't stay long. Although there's been a change of bubbles in the Cathay F lounge too, the Baron De Rothschild has gone in favour of Berry Bros & Rudd Grand Cru.

Has LHR T3 GF and T5 GF both got the new champagnes now? Any idea if LGW GF will get them?

There's a Chateau Batailley 2008 on in Galleries First in LHR T5 at the moment. It is most welcome, every time I've been in here the past few weeks there have been only cheaper new world wines.

The whites are big on Riesling tonight too.

Could anyone kindly give a current status of the champagne across the OW club lounges in T3?
It’s the only deciding factor in lounge choice for Mrs FC.
Many thanks.

Shows how much personal taste comes into it! Moet is at best drinkable and Barons des Rothschild is one of the top non-vintage champagnes for my money.

Chateau Olivier Pessac Léognan.has just made an appearance in LGW GF. Maybe a peace offering after the hacking fiasco...
