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.

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!

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

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..."

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)
