P2
 
I can confirm the DP P2 is on both LHR and BKK flights…..I can also confirm it was delicious, as was the Tignanello ‘14 (LHR) and the Pichon LaLande ‘05 (BKK). Cheers!

I am noticing that only P2 is listed under champagne on the wine lists (previously I recall that when P2 was served onboard, both P2 and “standard” vintage DP were listed).

However, there naturally must be a specific allocation of P2 for every sector. I was served P2 on the ground ex-DXB on a long Asia route, then went to bed right away, and before arrival I decided to have a glass of bubbles. I was presented with a bottle of “standard” DP and - interestingly - it was 2008 DP (rather than the 2012 now being served on most flights).

I have to say that the 2008 is drinking beautifully. Very nice surprise to see it onboard as the “P2 backup”.

my wine list in and out of amm for next week no longer shows P2 :(

My MUC flight on the 28th also got downgraded to just the 2012 now, how is one to cope....I'm super sad but holding out some hope I will get surprised when I get on board and all will be made right.

Flown in BKK few days ago on EK385, had the Moet2013 on Business class (as shown on their web)

Returning next week on EK384 to HKG, Emirates web not showing any champagne on business class... :(
are they changing or just a website bug?

I noticed this on my DXB-MRU business class flight too - no champagne listed?

I also enjoyed P2 on my return flight to Melbourne yesterday.

Wow, it's my first time experiencing this champagne. I really enjoyed it. Quite different to the 2012 and 2008 served in previous years.

Ouch...

Hi Philip, I've checked the menu as well and the champagne is not listed. You can speak with our cabin crew on board to see if it's available. They can assist you further. We look forward to welcoming you on board. - Niimm

There’s always champagne in business class (apart from KSA flights, I think). So don’t worry.

Well happy days, my MUC flight still downgraded but I am 2 bottles of P2 in on my SEA-DXB flight. Not sure how many are loaded, but I am certain how many will remain

Also the Chateau d’Yquem was a lovely desert wine.

Got very lucky yesterday and crew to LHR offered me a bottle of P2 to take home. Clearly they must have known I’d enjoyed it throughout the flight!

That's very generous!
You must have been very nice to them. Being nice pays off!

Indeed - that stuff retails at > £400 here in the UK!

Hoping to get a crew like that on my 3 flights in F later this month! All are showing P2.
