Ill be there in about 5 hours and will let you know.

We have sent a box member to check it out in person
and give an eyewitness report.
Im saying the answer is No

I'm betting on no too - I can't think of the last time I saw wine by the bottle in an airport. All the people who want cheap good liquor want hard liquor, my guilty vodka-swilling self included.

I've done YYZ-IAH in the ERJ and it wasn't as bad as it seemed. This included backing out of the gate and waiting 30 minutes to depart due to noise abatement laws. :rolleyes:

Sounds like you're on the same flight as myself. That connection should be an interesting one.

Actually, SFO in Terminal 3 (the UA terminal) has actual wine shop in the sterile area. I have no idea about EWR though, the NYC region isn't exactly known for wine. :)

I don't know about duty free, but I'm quite certain there are shops that sell wine at IAH. I may be thinking more Term E than C.

In the random comment department, there was a kiosk right outside the CO gate at PDX which sold Oregon wines and Rogue beer. Too bad it wasn't open at midnight before I hopped on the red eye. Or maybe that was a good thing. :D

Most DF shops I've seen in Canada, Europe and Asia have some wine available. I've not shopped in one in the USA recently to know. It isn't always good or a good deal, but there is wine available.

As for airports that sell wine post-security, SEA has a nice wine shop to the left of the central food court if you're facing the big window area.

SEA is very much on my/our to-do list.

The last time I returned to the US by air, liquor was an issue on a per-drink basis. The airport lounge in BGR opened for our planeload of Air Force guys rotating home from the sandbox. My body clock was so screwed up after flying DOH-FRA-BGR (and leaving at 11pm DOH time) that even though my watch told me it was 9am, I really didn't care about having a few drinks.

I knew my random question would get the box all fired up. I've combined the two most discussed topics: air travel and alcohol in one super question. @:-)

I'm anxiously awaiting the first-hand scouting report...

A guy was on the phone with me, insisting (!!!) to me that Atlantic City has a Little Italy. When I told him that no such neighborhood existed, I get: "You don't know anything then. Are you the concierge?" :rolleyes: :mad:

You know what I do know? I know how to make the phone go <click>. I got that trick down real well. I didn't really hang up on him, but I did just feel like venting.

Post 3,100 - where else but here.

The Term E Duty Free store does sell wine but its probably not what you want to get someone for their wedding. Jackson Creek only - cost $9. They do have a small assortment of Champagne as well including Dom.

Also, this was harder than it sounds as they are Nazi's about letting you in with out an international ticket in hand. I just told her I left it in my jacket in the P-Club and I didn't plan on buying anything anyway.

ETA: POST 600

I can see how most people have a love-hate relationship with regional jets. Boarding was a breeze, about 10 minutes to get all 50 passengers seats. I must start by saying I have never been on a regional jet before, so this is my first time. I was surprised at how smooth the ride is. I was expecting to be tossed around and about like a screen door banging in a hurricane, However, I was a bit surprised at how noisy the jet was, given the fact that the engines were located at the rear of the aircraft. I do like how much more leg room I have, granted I was seated in seat 12A, but this seat feels more spacious then continental’s mainline aircraft does. I did get the feeling that I was flying greyhound bus though. I do think I will avoid these flights in the future if possible.

I have an RJ flight next Sat to BNA. It's not a long flight, but still, I hate RJs. When I fly to OMA, I will take the one flight a day each way on mainline JUST to avoid the RJ even though it is the most inconvient flight of the day for me.

We're watching the Huskers lose badly to the Sooners and then flipping to Texas losing to Tech. I didn't expect the latter though the prior was anticipated.
