Not sure if the wine thread is the right place for it, but I wish EK would serve better sparkling water than Perrier 
Its the one thing that upsets me about the EK F soft product every time as someone that gets through a litre of sparkling water on a flight, almost literally any other sparkling water would do! Its so over carbonated its like drinking a soft drink.
P.S. Im also a big fan of the Louis Latour above but then burgundy is very much my thing.

In the B First Class lounge (many in the bar fridge) last night:
Pichon Lalande 2005
Pichon Baron 2006
Pauillac de Latour 2011
Lascombes 2009
Alter Ego de Palmer 2013
Mondot (Troplong Mondot's 2nd wine)
EK passengers must *really* like Red Bordeaux! Unsurprisingly I thought the two Pichon's were the best of the bunch (despite the 2005 Lalande's well deserved reputation in wine circles for significantly under performing in a phenomenal Bordeaux vintage)

Ah, I always thought the C lounge was the combined lounge, didn't know there was a separate F lounge! The only time I spend in C is doing the walk of shame from C1 to passport control...
