Is this new?

This would also mean that wines now change only every two months, parallel with the food.
Yes, Wines on the F Menu card by route is new to me

Just downloaded the menu cards for some upcoming F flights, which now all include the wine list. Out of curiosity, I compared the January menus with the same flights in February, and food and drink are identical.

I’m not entirely sure I would hold my breath for a millisecond, about anything online at LH.com

Maybe they are teasing us with suspense ?

Probably. Trying hard to keep our lives exciting.

That is the same link I saw, except that it linked to the January list with Cuvée Louise (and Kanonskop). See the small 01-2019 in the margin of page 10

There is no Kanonkop on my January list, unfortunately, only on the outdated November list.

Are you sure? It is the “off the beaten track” red for January when I looked (& I haven’t had any wine or champagne today)

You are right and things become more and more bizarre: When I downloaded the menus for LH 778/779, food and beverages for January and February were exactly the same. I just rechecked and while the food is still identical, the wines have been changed on the January menu and include Kanonkop now. Champagne is Louise both January and February. To be sure, we will probably have to wait a little until LH has sorted out the mess, if they ever will.

I’m now getting fearful for my upcoming 778, not only could the Wines be confused but I could be in for a Lazy & Incompetent CC

I would consider filling up in the FCT & sleeping through the fligh but I might miss what goes on or doesn’t onboard

No the champagne is LPGS.
I will be on LH779 end of next week as well, let's see what they have. In any case there is usually Piper-Heidsieck Rare Millésime at the SKF to add a first safety layer

No @ worldclubber is right, Champagne this Month is Pommery Louise, have a look at the Menu cards for 779, they now display the Wines also.

Whilst the Wine Menu on LH.com says it’s January, the Wines are from November

I expect we can both count on the P-H R M in the SKF lounge which is very nice 👍

Don't you worry, there will be some bubbly and it will most certainly not be A.G.

An lazy/incompetent crews are about 1/20. Is it your turn already again?

Strange, because on my flight to MEX in Nov they had a completely different wine menu than the one we can currently download and there was no South African wine. Actually it was also a different one onboard than the one I downloaded pre-flight.
Anyway, I will have LPGS on LX on the outbound and whatever the Champagne Roulette of LH will offer on the way home.
When are you there? Maybe same flight .

The clue on the Web Menu was the Monthy proposal for November ...... & I had that Chardonnay before Christmas

LH IT is a lottery

I’m on 778 this week & my 779 is a way off, returning via HKG next week.

Thanks for the therapy
A G would be a catastrophe

My ratio is much better than 1/20 so maybe it could be my turn, however this week I’m pre warned, FA’s beware
