I had a delicious one in the CCR last Tuesday by a lady, unfortunately I didnt catch her name. Im not a coffee drinker because I dont like the taste but as this was recommended, I took it. And it was strong. I was up all night, that isnt an exaggeration! But I would definitely enjoy it again :-)

There are spare bottles on the counter which is a good sign rather than chilling in the fridge.

Im around most of the day so feel free to send a PM of you fancy sharing a glass and a chat.

Actually, I think the KFC chicken shortage was also a first world problem, this is more acute than that - its a First class problem!

No LPGC on MIA LHR flight the other day. The crew said it was the fault of the outbound crew who had used it all. Not sure I can believe that......how many bottles are loaded for the whole return trip?

What they did have was a Vintage Castelnau which was actually very drinkable. My suspicion is that this was the substitute for the LPGC!

They were probably telling you the truth.

For my much delayed YYZ flight, the crew said five bottles of LPGS had been drunk. The crew member showed me there were two unopened bottles, which he was saving for the return flight.

Very possible to get through a number of bottles in a full F cabin. Lets assume everybody has one glass a PDP then you are looking at using up two bottles. And if a couple of people fancy a few then it soon goes down. I had no such problem on Saturday as there were four kids in F and everybody was looking to sleep.

But why would they have had the Vintage Castelnau loaded that was not on the menu?

I do not know. I was just adding a data point not answering your question with any certainty.

I am pretty sure we also had champagne loaded that was not on the menu, which by coincidence I have just found.
