Aghast not to be served Bollinger CHQ-LHR, but the Canard Duchene was passable, despite being warm and flat! And at least had some body, unlike the NF.

So to keep on topic - I look forward to seeing the Rosé on board and if there is a whip-round for Cancer Awareness I shall give generously as it has claimed too many ex-colleagues of mine. As for the rest - I suspect that they give it out outbound and that there is little left for the return. As the food is Preparatory School level, then they could easily get some decent wines and Champagne in full bottles for Band 4 at least.

Today’s LHR-ACE also a shambles for champagne. Crew did well but 46 pax in CE, and they didn’t even get 1 run of champagne done, with not everyone requesting it. It was the Brut though
Hot food also as bad, the flight deck offered up theirs to appease customers left with the option of quinoa and/or a bread roll 🙄
When a week ago when we booked seats you could see CE was very busy, so not sure why they can’t cater for champagne

7 mini bottles of champagne available on PFO-LHR for 56 club pax. Allegedly the outbound crew only had 50 bottles to work with for both sectors (outbound was also 56 pax).
