What's happened to the online access to wine lists? I'm 8 days away from my F flight LHR to DXB and I can't view the wine list. In the past it was accessible about a month before. Reading this thread is whetting my appetite, I just hope I can enjoy some of the goodies that have been highlighted.

Hi thijsseh, thanks for the help, I found the link in the generic what's on my flight, but when I looked via manage my booking I could only find a link to the menu. So the good news is, Segla and Haut-Brion are both available!!! But no P2 :-(

No, have not spotted P2 for quite a while. Guess it has run out

My apologies for leaving only one behind...
How does one find the unloved bin ends in the F A lounge?

Walk around and search or ask. Btw, they can be found in the J Lounges too (have had 1985 Ducru in A J)

Thanks. Was just wondering if there was a secret corner or wine fridge somewhere!

Not an F lounge regular but not that I'm aware, and certainly not in the J lounges

Anyone know if the Hennessy Paradis imperial is still on any routes? Interested if between DXB-NRT...

Also, any plans for any other limited edition Champagnes or Cognacs?

Sounds like Dom Rose is on the plan for F, and Veuve XO for J. Honestly the Imperial wasn't very impressive, seemed softer and less complex on the palate than the regular bottling. Very insta-worthy though lol

I tried the Imperial back in November and agree. Some of the ports Emirates offer esp Graham's Colheita 1963 in my opinion are SO good that everything else falls by the wayside but I realise that is personal opinion

Any advice on recent 'hidden gem' (ex or current F cabin) wines in the DXB F lounges?

Just to help speed up my rummaging through the cupboards and fridges tomorrow 😂
