Having tasted the product yesterday in the air, i must say that i preferred the previous Joseph Perrier champagne, which had better mousse and more complexity. This one was quite light and fruity champagne style, nice acidity thought.

With no offence I think cheap champagne fits nicely to AY's overall J product, you get what you pay for. I first thought it was Cava, I do not like it at all..

I haven't had the chance of trying the long haul Nicolas Feuillatte but I do like the blue labelled version served on intea-European flights. I'm not sure if the Finnish prices reflect the quality but years agi NF was cheap but now it is well over 34 € at Alko. JP when available cost less. So I can't think the changes was done for a cost-cut reason. I think someone must have thought that it would be nice to offer something different.

My understanding is that they should have brown label NF in euro-J too (though blue label shown in bar menu). Can anyone confirm this?

True, but BA doesn't make any number out of it, as AY has done this spring about their new classless, cheap choice..and with BA you have the premium stuff available for real premium pax/fares, unlike AY..

No, it is the blue labelled version in Euro-J and in the current lounge. Let's see what will be served in the near-future non-Schengen premium lounge or whatever it will be called.

No daily newspapers anymore on SH? Today, all that was offered was "Helsinki Times" some kind of metro clone weekly publication with re-used re-written news

Aha, I lost track of the days. Surely no daily prints today.
I was also tricked a bit by the presentation of the paper "available in 350 Finnair flights and trains, ..." so I got the impression Finnair moved from paying for daily papers to a barter deal with this one.
