Other than the Dom, I don't find them reliable over a month out. Even a week out I wouldn't feel totally surprised if something changes.

Last time they had the Mouton in late 2024 it lasted about a month and a half. Seems like it's been around since mid-May this time around

Next flight is in 9 days and menu showing Mouton 2004 and Clos de Tart 2013
quite a choice if it sticks

What a wonderful 24 hours of EK First wines yesterday on the long way home from LIS. Amazing wines were even better since I brought a couple of Zaltos on the trip.

LIS-DXB on EK194...

Thanks to disfunctional LIS, my 1h50m connection was cut to an hour. And with an A to B connection, I had only 20 minutes in the FCL. But the Mouton was under the counter and I had time for a glass.

DXB-ORD on EK235. Shockingly, I was the only one (of 4 other F pax) that was drinking either of these fabulous wines.

Cheers and nicely done!

Wow, you brought your own stemware? Love the commitment! So when you say "the Mouton was under the counter", does that mean you asked for it / asked what else they had? I'll be visiting the FCL for the first time later this year so any advice appreciated.

Like my last few visits to the B Lounge, all wine was hidden so I asked what reds they were serving today. The Mouton was the third bottle the bartender pulled out. Told him that there was no need to go on. :D

Nice work. Thanks for the reply.

A few days ago the guy at the B lounge said that they only get two bottles of Mouton a day. To be frank my glass tasted like it had been there a while and I don’t finish Whilst the onboard Mouton has been spectacular.

Does Emirates offer non-alcoholic wine in J (MAA-DXB-LHR-DXB-MAA) ?

the wine in the lounge of that quality is normally done and too oxidised by the time you get to it, best onboard or to have the “cheaper” stuff that’s more recently opened in my experience

I agree. As mentioned by others, “special” bottles in the lounges are leftovers from wines opened on flights. That means it’s hit or miss, depending on how long they have been open for.
