A very serious question...
 
OK I revert back to my olde mates on EK here, having just returned from Australia, flying CX and QF (both rather good in comparison to EK) I have one question.......

Which airline has the largest wine glasses on board???

Having been a great fan of EK over the years, and now having just done 4 long haul with CX and 2 internals with QF I was somewhat dissappointed with the size of the wine glasses on board compared with EK..

So if someone can answer the above question, I may go back to EK, or switch completley..

Anyone have an answer??

Looks like you are the only drinker. Since presumably everybody eats at some point, which airline has the biggest plates?:D

Wine glasses on EK in F and J are different, with the one in F being more close to a proper wine glass?

Bigger glasses in terms of height - yes. In terms of volume, not neccessarily.

In F on Virgin America they have these glasses that are about the same shape/height of a normal champagne glass but fill in a thicker stem too. Hold quite a volume of liquid.

On the subject of glasses, I am not a fan of these airlines not carrying proper champagne glasses these days and substituting tumblers instead. There is nothing quite like trying to down your champagne when turbulence hits!

I do prefer a lower volume glass, but attentive service, when it comes to liquids. Gives me chance to try more cocktails.
