Same with the A fridges.

Who knows if this is actually going to happen, but this is EK216 27-Aug:


2009 DP Rose
2006 Angelus (!)
2016 Opus One

And others of course but those were the highlights

Thanks for the tip on A…I was connecting out of C but decided to try the A lounge…bartender tipped me off that they were getting a new batch of wine…shortly after a bottle and a half of Mouton two of us polished off :)

Any recent feedback on the 2006 Chateau Angelus? Looks like it'll be on my upcoming MXPJKFK.

The 4.6 Vivino rating is exceptional...

I've never quite understood the Vivino ratings.

If I had a 4.6 rating on Uber, I'd never get a ride!!

I see it on my upcoming LGW/DXB as well, so I’ll give it a try.

What a wonderful wine day on DXB-SEA today...

EK doesn't disappoint. A few days ago, the 2004 Mouton was excellent after a few hours in the decanter.

I’m new to EK with my first business flight with them since 1996 in three weeks time. Browsing through this thread there appears to be some very good, nay, exceptional, wines routinely available in F lounges. Do these wines appear in the J lounges at airports that have F passengers but with no separate F lounge?

Specifically thinking about BKK and HKG.

No. Those lounges will have J caliber wines, if that.

TBH these ‘J caliber wines’ are still very high quality, and can be compared to most other airlines’ First class offerings (SQ I’m looking at you)

I think BA won this particular competition a few years ago with a New Zealand sauvignon blanc that was generally available in the UK supermarkets for about £7.00!
