Simpler solution: LOCK FC and C- bins. Board in the following order:
People needing assistance
Sky
Zones 1-x
Gate check bags that don't have space
Unlock C- bins
Board C-
Gate check C- bags that don't fit
Unlock F bins
Board F
Note: on planes boarding from 2L, board FC/Business BEFORE everyone else.

Oh, I'm not totally SOLVING the problem, I'm just reducing it, and making it more evident. It's much more visible in a 4 row cabin to spot and correct the miscreant than it is when some slob in Row 36 stealthily tosses is roll a board above Row 4 or Row 10 and saunters back as if he was a 20MM Uber Diamond (whatever is above Diamond)

What wines are being offered in C+? The same as FC but in plastic glasses? Or the airplane sized quarter bottles? Or wine in a bix like in international coach?

I'm pretty sure Welch's grape juice with a shot of vodka would qualify as "wine". Welch's with a shot of whatever that bourbon/whiskey people around here rave about would qualify as "port". And Ginger Ale with a shot of Beefeaters gets you "sparkling wine".

Flew SLC->BOS yesterday in EC. The FAs seemed to be easing into the new C+ offerings, by first bringing the cart up for our coach-class drinks and pretzels/peanuts/cookies, and then backing up and passing the snack basket in the EC rows. (No adult beverages were offered.) I commented to the gentleman next to me that the salted chocolates were very nice, as I took one, and he took one as well. I believe there was a little consternation expressed by the first row in Economy when the basket was not presented to them.
Fly safely,

Delta has included SkyPriority boarding as one of the C+ benefits, but they make very clear that no other SkyPriority benefit is offered to C+ passengers. Does this mean they will print "SKYPRI" on the boarding zone, or still give Zone 1?

Ahem, you do realize you're on Delta, in coach, don't you? Not the French Laundry?
I'm pretty sure Welch's grape juice with a shot of vodka would qualify as "wine". Welch's with a shot of whatever that bourbon/whiskey people around here rave about would qualify as "port". And Ginger Ale with a shot of Beefeaters gets you "sparkling wine".

It was a reasonable question, and I too am interested in the answer. At 35k feet, it all pretty much tastes the same though

Just a quick note that my Delta app updated today and my seat of 5A for PIT>JFK (bulkhead on CRJ900), formerly Economy Comfort, is now listed as "Main Cabin." In line with this, the seat map shows what used to be EC in the shade of blue that used to designate "Preferred" seating. Exit Rows are a very deep blue on the map.
