LH 778 FRA-SIN August 2018

I actually enjoyed the Taittinger 2006 Comtes de Champagne Rosé served pre-departure, more than the Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle that was served inflight.
Also, only one bottle of the Taittinger was boarded.

Completely agree with you. LPGS is solid, but the Taittinger is much better.

Indeed, both very acceptable Champagnes but not like you can stay long on the Tat Rose If they only load one bottle.

It was really strange. I expect such of other airlines.... in J-steerage
Looking at all of my LH F long-haul flights, not once was there only 1 bottle of any of the champagnes. The FA on this recent flight was apologetic.

LH has cut back on a few other items in recent years. eg. The FAs often placed chocolate on the pillow when making the bed. LX recently placed a lovely bar of chocolate on the bed.

LH also used to have the box of pralines for the cabin, now they give out the personal box of 4. Sure, 4 is perfectly nice, but there is something mildly luxurious about crew holding the box open to allow you to choose among a wide assortment. Yes, yes, FWP.

Just to clarify: LH now loads 4 bottles of the main menu champagne (up from 3) and continues to load 1 bottle of the 'special champagne advertised by a full one pager ad. With the exception of one month, the special champagne was more exclusively (and pricier) than the main menu champagne and while I think it would be nicer to load 2 bottles of the special one to cater for a cabin of 8, I can't fault the approach.

Let's see how many bottles they still have when I board LX779 later this month... Already noticed that Cuvée Louise is back .

At least with the Col Solare they finally serve a decent red wine again. An excellent choice IMO.

No special champagne on LH778 last week but neither was there any shortage of the LPGS

LH are inconsistent

LX 779 is a new routing ?

Pommery Cuvee Louise is very nice IMHO but can be had any day of the week in MUC, FCL’s

That sounds about right. I had it in December 2015.

It seems October Champagne stays with Pommery Louise Cuvee, my last nights flight had a changed Wines list from September but with the Pommery Louise Cuvee.
