Krug Champagne off my F flight
August 1 to LAX, my F champagne is Tattinger Comtes des Champagne 2006.
I know there's another thread about champagne changes regionally. I haven't flown regionally this month yet but I don't recall Krug being removed from long-haul F except for around 2008-2010 period when they had Deutz Blanc de Blanc.
Anyway thought folks here might be interested. Mods if this should be merged / moved elsewhere feel free.

Actually good news for me. I don't do well after >1 flute of Krug, regardless of being in the air on the ground. My last F resulted in me swapping my Krug for someone's Billecart in the back.

The ISM told me it was a "new" champagne for this month. She is HK based. So I don't think it's specific to CX882. I'm just curious if it's only a few routes where Krug is being removed longhaul (say, North America), or if it's systemwide.

According to an FA friend of mine, it's a temporary shortage, Krug is still here to stay, and...
HND F gets Krug, beginning last month

I had Krug on HKG-ZRH and ZRH-HKG flights last week and the week prior.
As an aside, F service on ZRH-HKG was pretty pathetic...lazy ISM and both FAs lacked hospitality skills. F cabin was full for ZRH-HKG.
