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.

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.

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).

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?
