I have been in Al Safwa last week and Krug wasn't on display, but upon request several glasses were flowing.
On both DOH-AUH and AUH-DOH only Jacquart Brut was available last week.
Hopefully, Krug will at least be maintained in Al Safwa.
Come on, QR, do you really want to jeopardize your 5* rating?

Are you sure they send you to the first class lounge because you are gold and not due to the F flight?

Yes, I am sure.
1.) AUH-DOH was an op-up and normally QR op-ups do not affect lounge access (in contrast to upgrades on miles/QCredits/cash).
2.) They only scanned my onward boarding pass in Y.
3.) I have already been directed to the First Class Lounge / Emerald Lounge in November on an Y-Y-transfer.
These were my only DOH transfers with an onward Y flight since reaching QR Gold so I never experienced being sent to the Business Class Lounge / Sapphire Lounge with QR Gold, but of course two cases are providing little evidence for a general rule.
I have not seen any champagne in the Business Class / Sapphire Lounge which I used twice as QR Silver. In November there was Billecart-Salmon in the First Class Lounge (Emerald Lounge), no Krug. On 1 January 2016 there was no champagne available in the First Class Lounge / Emerald Lounge.

will also have some business flights this year and will check what is available in Al Mourjan.
I hope the reason for the disappeareance of krug ist they just did not get a new shipment due to the new year celebration. heheh..

As long as we get to keep Billecart in the AM lounge I won't mourn the loss of Krug too much. If they try pulling the Mosaique pi$$ in the lounge as well as onboard then I'm going to look at lot harer at CX for my Europe-APAC travel, as they are priced pretty similar til QR for this.
As someone else stated in a thread here, I'm surprised there isn't more people piping up regarding the loss of Billecart onboard.

Sadly they were still serving the Jacquart and Drappier the other day. Neither of them are inspiring. The crew mentioned that J Class wines are updated every three months...

The crew will give various replies to deflect any criticism of the Jaquart bottle, including saying wines change, and a of lot other non-comittal stuff.
