Excellent information, Charles Heidsieck is my ever favourite bubbly, let’s see if I can make it into First whilst it’s on the menu.
Just a small notion, Charles Heidsieck, Piper Heidsieck and (the dreadful) Heidsieck Monopol are three different champagne houses, unrelated. Sometime in ancient history the founders most likely came from the same family, but they are completely different companies.

Have they got rid of the awful brunch and supper menus yet?

Yes, thank you for the info. Rare is in my top 5 and I haven’t seen it on BA for maybe decades. Luckily enough headed to Cape Town in First in a few days for the winter escape. Also a fan of Mullineux wines. 😊

Looks like they are gently removing the brunch menus hoping no one notices, I think the supper menus are here to stay but is being completely revised which I think is a good idea.

/sarcasm
Oooh, but why? They said they didn't get any negative feedback about that...
/sarcasm off

Sorry Can I help you, couldn't resist

Well, I hope so. This is what I got in Club after being invol downgraded from F. This is supposed to be a cheese and tomato toastie. Maybe it was that once but not when I got it. Both it and the soup were not hot either. Disgusting.

Not exactly true
The three Champagne houses named Heidsieck - all originating from families once related!
In 2011 both Charles Heidsieck and Piper-Heidsieck were bought by EPI Group.

I have a red eye flight in F from the Middle East coming up, I hope to taste the Rare Millésime Brut 2015. I wonder if they would serve this pre departure?

I doubt it. Aren’t they forbidden to pour alcohol until leaving dry airspace?

Only flights ex Saudi alcohol cannot be served in their airspace , ex Kuwait it’s just on the ground the other Middle East destinations are ok.

Not many of BA’s ME destinations are “dry”, so that’s not really the point. But it’s fairly unlikely (although I am not 100% sure that this is true in all of BA’s ME destinations) that they’ll serve the good stuff on the ground in any event, for tax/customs reasons. More likely to get plonk pre-departure.

Off topic I appreciate but how on earth do you get invol downgraded from F?

Surely that is the one cabin where a booked seat, should mean a guaranteed seat.

Just curious.

I stand corrected, thank you Grande Annee! Although, under the same ownership, Charles and Piper are still very separate champagne houses, with separate vineyards, separate cellars and, of course, separate cellar masters.

Of the places where alcoholic PDB are served only ex the USA (I think) that the bars cannot be opened and other champagnes/sparkling are loaded.
