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??

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.
