My definitions (nothing official)

Domestic = within India (No Alky!)
Regionals = 737 international flights
Long Haul = widebody routes A330/B77w

Well regionals can also include A332, used for SIN-BOM, BOM-HKG, etc...so aircraft type alone cannot determine this.

Don't remember the name, but going by the taste, it could just as easily have been labelled pissenwasser!

P.S.: Or alternatively, what's the German for battery acid?!!

Save that for the *real* stuff on LH that's undrinkable!

Dom was served yesterday on BOM-LHR.

Was in F, but had a peak at the C cabin and saw Dom being poured there too.

Interesting to see how wishy-washy Jet is - depends on whether they have a tailwind or a headwind, eh?

Are you talking about the Louis Roederer Brut?

Dom was served on my recent LHR-BOM in J on 9w. The menu specifically mentions it. Yum.

Whenever they consider themselves as making money on the route, they reintroduce it, and vice-versa!

I don't think you're too far of the mark...I believe the choice of alco depends on the load, and that they even have different drinks menus - decisions made up to one hour before departure. Sounds unbelievable !

'Tis unbelievable - when one experiences it yourself!!

(Sometimes they hide the drinks menu - just to prevent us from asking for the Dom, which they don't want to proffer!)

Just done a BOM-BKK-BOM and it was the "Louis Roederer Brut". On the outbound, i had a couple of glasses and to be fair, i had an extremely bad cold and cough so am unable to give a fair opinion on the taste but it did not have the instant "Yuk" reaction you get with some sparkling wines/champagnes!

On the inbound, i had way too much alcohol the night before so went teetotal!

I have to admit, the B737s are not bad for flight times upto 4.30 hrs. Wife was extremely comfortable and overall Seat, legroom, IFE and service were pretty good!

I must admit at the risk of being flamed - especially after starting this thread - that the
L R B tastes quite similar to Dom and is perfectly acceptable for these short "jaunts" to BKK, SIN, etc.!

Agree, BUT, it is a far inferior champagne to DP ;-)

PS: The "DP" is a bait for AJ...
