They should be able to sort your situation out as soon as you tweet this issue. A Champagne Mid-Air Reprovisioning Team will be able to meet your flight and transfer additional bottles of LPGs.

Emergency landing to restock. Clearly the plane can't continue in this state.

With qantas supposedly asking the manufacturers for sleeping quarters and exercise bikes to be equipped to new planes, perhaps BA can come up with some kind of air-to-air LPGS reprovisioning mechanism? Shame there’s no A330s in the fleet that could be modified to MRTT but can’t have everything I suppose

Entitlement? Absolutely. Despite my slightly jokey comments previously, the OP has paid for a service, bar of which includes a good quality champagne in F. It is easily conceived that a number of customers will want to partake in a few glasses. To run out is after only 90 minutes is not acceptable and the OP has every right to express his frustration and complain. If this was a one-off I might be less sympathetic but from the reports of others this is not a unusual occurrence. Assuming 4 bottles have been loaded and as an optimistic estimate there are six glasses per bottle, that's only 24 glasses for 14 customers in F. I could drink that much myself this afternoon in the CCR, should I be minded to do so.

Hopefully the OP will keep us updated with the outcome of any complaint.

That does not come over as very kind, much less friendly. It is clear that the OP is having a little fun here, but he underlies an issue. BA appear not to stock enough of a Champagne that is served in First. It was complaints like this that got the quantities upped in CE. Did you know that? I had that from an extremely senior manager when I was on board a flight. I can assure you that genuine problems are being listened to, so airing them here is not space or time wasted. Not liking this, or not liking that is subjective, running out of stock in a Premium Cabin is not.

As for JALs 9 course banquet, it sounds Heaven to me who like long leisurely meals. I’ve now an incentive to fly JAL F.

Anyhow, I’m glad that he saw fit to tell us in a rather jocular way. Never mind tedious social chatter houses, I’ll be his friend and if he approves I’ll make him a Mucci. 😁😁

Now let’s all have another Champagne discussion as I’m sure that we haven’t enjoyed one for the past 7 days 😉😉

I was going to desist from adding a comment as it might reflect badly on me and my fellow travellers. However, on a recent flight out to Asia, there was no LPGS left for the first drinks run after take-off. Seems that six bottles were consumed on the ground. We were offered a choice of the rose the English fizz, or the champers from Club. No-one seemed to mind.

I wonder if BA would come up with a scheme and page for champagne emergencies - calling anyone who brought duty free champagne onboard and willing to sell to BA at double the price purchased, please come forward and let the crew know.

In my view this is a win win... BA won’t need to stock excessive bottles, and passengers earn a markup on their duty free purchases if the offer is taken up.

Half the cabin won't have any. And they won't plan for the other half drinking it continuously throughout the flight.
