Wine List Club World LHR to San Jose
Apologies if this is elsewhere and I know someone will kindly direct me there. What is the current wine selection in Club World on the USA West Coast/San Jose flight? Decisions to be made......

What decisions could you possibly need to make in advance of the flight? Unless you are actually basing your airline choice based on the wine list - a silly proposition generally but certainly in J and not F.

OP may be wanting to select their main course and pair it with a wine,
just a thought.
But given how airlines chop and change their menus (let alone the caterers just loading a different selection) it does seem a bit silly to expect a particular selection - whether food or drink -to be available.
Anyway this is flyer talk. Leave your logic at the door!

It's CW. There will be a wine selection something like this:
A mid-range robust red probably from Chile or southern Europe, eg Merlot.
An overly fruity, over-processed wine from southern Europe, the USA, or Australia, eg Syrah.
An inoffensive medium white, probably from Spain or perhaps Chile or even New Zealand (eg, Albariņo).
A light, fruity white, probably from Italy or New Zealand.
It's unlikely there will be any sort of dryer, mineral white (like Chablis or the better French Sauvignon Blanc). So don't choose your food depending on that. Nor will there be a dry red either, so don't rely on that either.
For much of the food, even the nominally redder meats, the Albariņo is my default choice, but the Merlot or whatever it is can be OK too. I give those with the fruit-cordial flavours a miss.
