Theres no doubt that EK F is the best cellar in the sky. What absolutely blew me away last year was Hennessy Paradis Imperial on DXB-JFK. It was the most expensive bottle I've seen in the sky.

I think I clearly need to spend more time dredging the A Gates J lounge though.

Try also the C21 J and F lounges - there is a dark central refrigerator by the buffet area where some of the wines are being stored.

There is a very good reason for that though - EK's deep partnership with LVMH, so all your Hennesseys, Dom P, Veuve etc. (even d'Yquem!) means they are getting a very good deal! :D

You are a star! Absolute jackpot on my 7h layover. Conveniently arrived at C10 (connecting to A21). Perfect for a lounge crawl.

What is the champagne offered in the First Class Lounges in Dubai? The same as in the Business Class Lounges (Moët et Chandon Imperial)?

Last time i was there the A First Class Lounge had Veuve

in JC, new "Veuve Clicquot Extra brut Extra old" on the wine list.

I requested it... "it was not loaded on board, we have only the standard yellow label..."

docsxx Jul 10, 2019 12:00 am

For those who prefer champagne to wine, not sure there is any difference between Business and First class lounges in Dubai then...

The J Lounge has the champagne bar as well, which is nice (serves 4 types of Moet)
