Excellent, P2 on both my upcoming KIX-DXB and DXB-LGW

Unlikely but really hoping the p2 will last until June!

I am flying F ex-CPT next week to HKG, no Dom P2 2000 showing on any of the wine lists, does this indicate I’m out of luck or will it be placed on routes randomly?

Absolute in the gatwick lounge instead of grey goose, shocking!

Where does Belvedere fit in this pecking order? It should be on board all flights by now I would think.

It was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment but it was still grey goose on board!

Too bad. Not on my routes. Generally, I am bit underwhelmed by the choices I will have this time. Especially on the AKL flights I would have liked to see something more outstanding

Agree, it won't be the same drinking the 2009 knowing full well someone else is smashing down a bottle of P2 2000.

Exactly. And given the wines on offer, the 2009 seems to be the only choice...

which flights and when? Ek has outstanding wine on all routes.

I wonder if EK will be opening up the board offerings to other LVMH brands soon. Would love to see some Dom Ruinart or Krug on board. Also Ardbeg, but I imagine the aroma of an open bottle of Ardbeg would put a number of pax off their food (I love it though).

Not saying that these are not drinkable. But compared with other routes, I do not find these offers to be outstanding. I am for example also on flights to DUS and from HAM. They have much better offers, but unfortunately I do not sit in the right cabin class on those flights.

To/from AKL early April and middle of April:
Chateau Bouscaut Blanc, Pessac-Léognan 2011
Tolpuddle Chardonnay 2015
Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion 1996
Domaine des Monts Luisants Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru 2011
Auntsfield Heritage Pinot Noir 2012
Chateau Guiraud 2005

To/from CMB:
Chateau Cos d'Estournel Blanc 2011 (this one I am happy about)
Paul Jaboulet Aîné Condrieu Les Cassines 2016
Chateau Léoville-Poyferré Saint-Julien 2007
Savaterre Shiraz 2013

RUH ;)
