Surprised to see that the last post to this tread was by me, about a month ago. 
But I thought I'd bump it. Enough misery about getting refunds etc.
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?

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

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!

See you all on the other side!

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 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.
