I flew HKG-BOS yesterday and the only champagne on offer was the Brut Vintage Rare 2002. While I was hoping to try the 2004 Krug, I was extremely happy with the Rare. In fact, that's all I drank. The red wine list included Seghesio Zinfandel Sonoma County 2015, which was really surprising for first class.

Actually I know of a couple of friends who drink only champagne from the CX lounge till getting off the plane. They estimate they'd drink about 2 bottles of champagne per person per flight... hey, if that's how some people roll, I'll go with it!

It's about US$20/bottle. Apart from the fizz and the flagship claret, US$15-20 retail price seems to be CX's budget for wines in F. Maybe $10-12 for J and $4-5 in Y.
