To get back to the original subject
I just about fell off my barstool when my champagne was served to me in a frosted flute. Come on...just because champagne has bubbles you don't serve it in a frosty glass like beer!

HA HA ! That great! We should all do that when no one is around, even serve other guests - help save CO on the costs of staffing the PC!

After previous post I confirmed with IAH PClub bartender that all 4 IAH clubs now have the premium wines.
Apparently, they're still considering the premium liquor option.

I think that CO needs to adds some signs(maybe add larger signs) or something stating that the lower level wines/etc. are still avail free of charge.
A few co-workers came back from IAH really steemed that CO had taken away free alcohol and replaced it with premium wines for cost.
I explained to my co-workers that CO still had their free selection but they were offering higher quality wines/etc. for pay if one desired.
I did not really pay attention last time I was through IAH but does CO have signs stating that complimentary alcohol is still avail free of charge?

At the bottom of sign...
It has been a while since I looked at the sign about premium wines but I recall a sentence at the bottom stating that the regular wines are still avialable.
