Hi there, i know people in Champagne and they say that Dom Perignon NV production is as high as 6 million bottles a year. Don`t know if its true but still they make a lot more than they want people to know. Anywho, what about some small producers like Jaquesson, Pierre Peters or some Fleur de passion?

Pol Roger Winston Churchill 2004 would be a worthy step up from LPGS, and not quite as big a leap as the Dom P2.

EK currently has Dom rose 05 on for a limited time.
Maybe BA should do that and mix it up a bit? I do like LPGS for the record but not enough to fly BA.

Not surprised - I doubt you'd want to give up your EK limo transfers, DXB lounges, onboard showers, onboard bars .........

A little bit of a shame. One of the things I rather admired BA for was LPGS in F. It's not a 'show brand' like Dom or Cristal but the taste is excellent. Kind-of sums up what BA First is meant to be... understated high quality.
One thing I would love them to do is serve one of the top English sparkling wines. Obviously alongside champagne for those who think the best fizz can only come from the champagne region, regardless of taste. But there are some exceptional English wines being produced now.
