What was the most enjoyable wine you had in EK F (yes, there used to be an EK F and they gave you wine ;)) in say the last three months?

For me it was an absolutely delicious white burgundy (DXB - LHR in late Jan). I wish I had taken the menu home so that I could remember it. If I can get my hands on some I will do for a special occasion.

Dunno about on EK, but myself and sydtogla are having some of this in support of the dearly departed skywardshunter who is soon to be in lockdown without access to booze :D

Sadly from Thursday midnight I too will be locked down and can’t go and visit skywardhunter. Need to stock up for 3 weeks as I’m sure our ‘bottle stores’ won’t feature on the list of establishments that are allowed to continued to trade.

Sad situation, but it’s for our own good and survival!

I think I got in just in time. The place I got the wine from will be closing after today I fear (UK going into a lockdown).

See you all on the other side!

On a flight late last year, I had the 1998 Chateau Leoville-Las-Cases, St Julien which was delish!
My all time fave though was a 2003 Chateau Certan de May, Pomeral which I had a few years back.

What has happened to M? I note that he was suspended some months ago and I have been eagerly anticipating his return. Surely he has been allowed back by now, I hope he hasn't thrown all the toys out of the pram!!

skywardhunter is really needed here, I hope we will see him back soon.

I have told him we all miss him. He is baking sourdough bread during the South African lockdown. It’s only day 1 of 21.

Whilst I hardly ever use them I really don’t understand why there is so much passion to argue for or against them!

Can’t he just make a new profile?

That would be against the FT rules. One profile per person, really.

Fair enough but a complete ban seems excessive.

I don't think it's 100% their operation so much, it's just they have so many nuggets posting here on flyertalk that their forum has very little credibility, and the mods/owners here don't do anything about it.
