For a given route (e.g. TPE-ORD, TPE-LAX), do flights with Hello Kitty services provide a better wine/champagne list in business class compared to the ones with non-Hello Kitty services?
Also, do all Rimowa amenity kits have the same color or are they randomly assorted?
The "California Blue" color looks pretty slick in the picture above, and I'm wondering if it's a random draw of luck to get that specific color on a flight, or if all passengers will get the California Blue edition.

For the wine list, the only real difference is that champagne becomes Krug Rose.

Regarding Krug Rose being served on Hello Kitty flights, does it mean that routes like TPE-LAX and TPE-ORD that normally don't even get the non-Rose version of Krug (I think VC is the norm) will have Krug Rose if it becomes a Hello Kitty service flight?

Looks like Hello Kitty flight champagne has been downgraded from Krug Rose to VC Rose, at least on ORD-TPE flights.

Remember that Krug Grande Cuvée is in short supply now and airlines have been forced to divest away from it (this is based on a talk I had with some ANA folks). ANA and SQ have switched to 2004, maybe Eva is taking the opportunity to move away from it entirely?

JFK and IAH still have the special Krug.
