No, it's because of the diaeresis over the e - Claude Moët was Dutch, not French, so they use the Dutch pronunciation. "Mow-ett"

Is the Veuve 2008 gone? My flight (SFO-DXB) went from having it to not having it on the what's on my flight...

Killed a couple bottles of Dom Rose 2005 on EK138 recently! They need to keep this going!

How accurate is EK's "what's on my flight" feature? I'm looking at my flight in F from JFK in late Nov. It seems like the red wine is better from ORD, BOS, SFO, LAX, IAD than JFK. Maybe it's just too early to tell? My F flight from CAN-DXB in August did not have the same wine list as the website.

Usually the wine in J changes every 40 days or so. I've found it much more accurate recently, but then again I've done a lot of flying in September.

The wine list changes from flight to flight and isn't published in advance I thought? The dining menu is online, the wine list is printed separately though.

Thanks for the info folks. The one that confuses me is that the Kapcsandy Cuvee 2011 seems to be on most of the US routes in F except for JFK. Surely this is a first world problem but everything I've had from that winery has been awesome.

Oh, and Amuse Bouche '12 is (still!) in the F lounge as well. EDIT: The Kapcsandy in J lounge is the Endre, which is their "entry level" at $90 lol. It was in J in May SFO-DXB for a flash. |

It's still in the J lounge near the champagne bar as of a week ago, they had at least half a case there unopened in the display. Amazing wine, to be sure. And i think the lounge has the '12 which was an insane vintage for Napa.
