right but on a 2 hour short hop, are you really going to be able to eat, shower, sleep and hit up the bar? I mean I'm sure you could but I'm sure it would be rushed.

Sleeping would be a waste. ;)

This is a terrible pun and I mean no disrespect by it at all, I just have to say it:

Americans always talk about how they stand for and value their freeDOM!!

Ha! Well in our defense most of our sparkling wine is not good. So we jump on that DOM train.

South America makes some decent sparkling wines, Avianca has one of them in their J cabin cocktail menu but US sparkling wine overall, not good.. maybe one exception. I rather drink Riesling than US Sparkling.... Don't even get me started on prosecco. or below



What about Henkel Trocken for bubbles instead?
LOL



Totally agree on this one..actually..the absolutely best wine proramme in the air and it would be a waste to limit yourself to the Dom. Even their business wines are way better than F wines in LH or BA..the other day i enjoyed a wonderful super Tusacan 2010 Tignanello (going for about 50 €) both in the Business lounge and on board. In the air they often ivest approx. 100€ into their Bordeauxs..I am not aware of any other airline (maybe QR) investing so much. And for the F maximizers: why not order a bottle of Paradis going for 850 USD..so you only have to drink one bottle rather than 6 bottles of Domhttps://www.flyertalk.com/forum/imag...lies/smile.gif))))
Yeah I rarely ever spend more than $20 on wine, since I tend to drink more Champagne in general, not for celebration just for regular fish dinners. So it will be very nice to expand my horizons come EK F in Aug. Might give me a greater appreciation for more expensive wine...

Lol, I buy this one though for 4,95 at the airport and mix it into Aperol. For that actually quite good :)

I meant freeDOM to be understood as the word freedom.

Puns are the most useless form of humour!! I never learn......

Well we can’t currently say that...but in two more years (sooner, hopefully) we can return to the statement. ;)
