Steady... There may be spies around. Although I think this thread is pretty good cover :D

Mod Note:

This is the EK Wine Thread folks. Back on topic please.

Thanks

For a few years now I've been searching high and low trying to find Chateau Balestard la Tonnelle St Emilion 2010 to buy. I've found other vintages but not the 2010, which I love. If anyone's been able to track it down, please let me know!

Anyone know what the J and F wine line up is ex-UK or DXB-AU during reduced service? Keen to hear if anyone has had anything of note.

Flying MAN-SYD 5 JUL in J, but hovering over an F miles upgrade for the extra....isolation.

2 reds, 2 whites and the Dom

Just found that they're still updating the in app wine list. Looks like only one of each in J, and 2 of each in F.

Anyone knows if they're still serving some of the premium spirits in F? Looking at ex-JFK, ex-LAX and back ex-DXB. Thanks!

Does Emirates serve champagne on shorter flights? Like DXB to other Middle Eastern destinations? Trying to figure out what the differences are to the menu on EK's shorter flights.

On every flight yes

interesting as champagne doesn’t show up on regional flight menus on the website.

My one and only trip since the start of Covid (CPT/DXB/LHR) had the normal wine lists in J (CPT/DXB, 2 of each) as well as in F (DXB/LHR, wide choice including Dom of course).

The F champagne often doesn’t show on the online wine list.

I did DXB-BAH return a couple of weeks ago (one of EK’s shortest flights) in F and they were serving Dom.

how often is the wine list updated?
 

First emirates first class experience coming up in a few weeks...curious though..how often do they change the wine list? I've been watching throughout 2021 and it's been the same list for SFO to DXB. Honestly pretty disappointing list, nothing really special or expensive (besides the Dom 2008). Wondering if there's a chance it will be updated. Funny enough on my short middle of the night connection for SEZ the wine list is leaps and bounds better. Not sure I'll fully appreciate a 2005 Pauillac at 4am though ha.

Also, I've seen mentions of first class wine finding it into the first class lounge in dubai....is that true and still happening?

The first class lounges aren't open at the moment, but you may be able to fine some of the good wines in the J lounge. Just ask what they'd got.

they have the good stuff in the F area of the J lounge
