Oh interesting. Was the P2 on the wine list? And online?

Yes to both

Oh nice. You’re probably not as crazy as I am checking the list regularly, but just in case: was it always there or did they add it closer to departure?

I’m tentatively flying from JFK in a week or so, but I see the P2 dropping off after March 5

I only checked about a week ago and it was there then.
I just checked my return DXB-JFK on Friday and it doesn't show P2. Will report back if it ends up being onboard though

Is P2 showing for anyone on flights to Europe? Booking F to Rome and hoping it's onboard although seems unlikely given the route.

P2 is served ( at least was in January and February) to MXP, not sure if it has the same wine list as FCO as one of the daily flights continues to JFK.

Found a Solaia 2012 lurking in the T3A Lounge this morning.

However, it was the last drops and they subsequently ran out of it.

Emirates lounges have a wine issue.

I was in A and B lounges over the weekend and tried various bottles of red wine that were out (Smith Haut Lafitte, Close de Tart, Lynch Bages, Pichon L etc). I know my wines and know what these wines are meant to taste like. All of them, with the exception of perhaps one, must have been open for well over 5 days, each tasting completely oxidated and stale.

I spoke to one of the waiters who said they actually take opened bottles from flights and keep them for typically a week before they are binned. It's such a shame because the selection is world class, but would highly suggest they offer a smaller selection of wines but ones are destined to be consumed within 24 hours of open.

2005 Palmer is in the DXB lounges because it’s now being served on board (new addition from the last few days). It’s fantastic — although could probably use a decanter and another 20 years — no joke — and to have this served is just testament to how EK treats F. I don’t recall something of this level being served. 👍🏻

I've been organizing my wine collection with a simple rack. It's made such a difference, and it's become a great decor piece. If you're looking for ideas, check out this article on DIY wine rack ideas.

Is that new?

You normally only get the Verve Cliquot on the ground in the UK.

They started serving Dom on the ground in October last year from LHR (see my post upthread). The P2 previously didn't have duty paid on it and so wasn't served on the ground. Not sure if this is a change or just a very flexible crew...
