The story is being picked up by the Canadian media now. IMHO, it's an interesting publicity ploy.
That said, I suspect the personal bottle of Castelnau Blanc du Blanc may turn out to be problematic for a few folks. Many people travel to YYZ only to connect onwards. So that gesture of goodwill from BA will suddenly become a lethal threat if pax try to board another flight with it. Fortunately the very viable option of drinking it prior to the next flight will always be there.

Now that I think about it this whole thing might indeed have a silver lining in emptying the Castelnau reserve BA might have and hopefully make way for some proper bubbles!

After watching a few minutes if the wedding, I believe I'll have to make quite a few trips through

That‘s actually true in a sense. They finished the predecessor of today‘s (hope, the apostrophe is correct) railway station in 1857 while the cathedral was only finished in 1880 (started in 1248 - we Germans surely like to take our time for construction projects).
