Why on Earth do people drink champagne? I just do not understand it. For the price of a decent Puligny Montrachet you get some third rate wine with added sugar to create bubbles. And the bubbles just make you fart,.
Decent non-bubbly white is just so much better.
Once upon a time, BA also served rather good Red.

It's nice enough and one of the world's earliest marketing jobbies. I appreciate the effort that goes into developing a yeasty taste (for the ones that have it). Taste is neither innate, nor chosen, it is developed. Every marketer understands this. Nothing wrong with it, though I somewhat agree with you, give me good liquor or wine and I will happily pass on the champers. As a marker for luxury, though, it can't be beaten, so better to invest in a good champagne to the detriment of other wines any day of the week. Here at the CCR bar, it's about one order in two for champagne vs everything else today. If your champagne has a good rep, you have accomplished your positioning goal.

We've gone from "Gone forever" to "Gone for 2-3 weeks" to "Gone for 48 hours". If the situation remains as is from now on I think BA should be praised for dealing with an unexpected supply chain problem beyond its control and figuring out a way to meet customer expectations with the minimum of disruption.

Plenty of LPGS this afternoon in the CCR - so no need to panic, nor has the intrepid @MarkedMan consumed it all earlier in the day ^
The Sunday Roast is again available, but that is for another thread.

I will say this, If they don't have LPGS in First on our flight tomorrow from LAS to LHR or a comparable alternative (Henriot is not comparable, Bolly Grand Annee, Dom, Krug, CH Rare are comparable), I will be requesting the difference in Avios to CW as compensation. BA needs to step it up significantly yet they seem to regress

If you happen to drive in Burgundy. Drop by Leclerc outside Beaune. I stock the car here with Chassagne & Puligny with bottles starting at €25. Rich, mineraly and smooth as butter
Sorry for OT post.
