I know its a first world problem, but how can I stop this happening?

I don’t think the OP is being particularly unreasonable being annoyed at the lack of drink choice. If you pay $5k+ for a ticket that markets itself as including champagne, you expect it to be delivered. BA’s penny pinching shouldn’t be excused!

One should never forget that those of you on here lucky enough to be able to fly, even once, in a cabin that isn't economy, should consider yourself extremely fortunate. Regardless of advertising or costs or whatever, whinging about something so trivial as so many "premium fliers" do on here just makes you look ungrateful, spoilt, arrogant, and quite frankly, unappreciative of what you have.
Dwell on that while slurping your next glass of bubbly on board.

But they don’t mention LPGS specifically. If another champagne was available on OP’s flight then I don’t think the ASA would be interested.

If a service is advertised as having benefits then these should be available.
On a recent first flight a passenger from business (I assume) was allowed to dine and drink for two or three hours which at one point resulted in the two friends being given a box of chocolates! It was only after the noise got too bad was a complaint made, and the guest was asked to leave The steward told the complainant that passengers in first class were allowed to invite guests for as long as they like.
Maybe this is a reason why drink runs out?

And maybe a reason why the box of chocolates runs out!
More often than not I haven't been proactively offered any chocolates, and when I ask (as I know to do unlike many I'd imagine) I sometimes get offered fun size minis from the Club kitchen as the F box is either missing or been emptied without ever reaching me.
Seems crazy to me that chocolate is such a scarce thing in F. Carrying a second box wouldn't hurt, surely?
