No more champagne in Economy Extra
So, from now on there will be no Nicolas Feuillatte in Economy Extra 
The replacement is (or was at least on SK903 today) some kind of sparkling wine (French though) which name I didn't bother to remember.
Thanks to the FA who realized my disappointment and all of a sudden arranged with some real stuff ^

Did BCN-CPH two weeks ago in Eco+. Same flight time as PMI-CPH (2.40 airborne). A decent cold meal (salmon is back!), good bread and an outstanding personal service – which included several bottles without even asking for more (champagne and a great French white wine).

Flew 2 days ago CPH - EWR. The same unknown French sparkling wine.
But they still give you a bottle of water (the taste is similar).
I agree, one of the very few highlights of E+ is missing now.
IMHO the service was not as good as it used to be 1-2 years ago. E.g. I just saw them once between the meals coming through the cabin with soft drinks (on an 8 hours flight). Maybe it was just a lazy crew.
It looks as if SAS is trying to save money wherever they could.

Last week, I was in C LHR-CPH. They had a choice of two different NFs, but apparently they ran out of champagne very quickly, so my second bottle was a Pommery they managed to dig out from way back in the cabin.

Noooo! For realz? 
I was in Y EWR - ARN and back again just over a week ago and there was plenty of NF. Is this temporary or permanent?
In the worst case I'll just bring the entire bottle of Tattinger from the SEN lounge and pass it around the cabin.
The other bummer is that when flying C i liked asking for a bottle of NF to the meal, opposed to drinking the Henriot, for some reason I just think NF tastes way better in the air.

You guys are not going to believe this. I received something like this in C on TYO-CPH. After dinner I asked for some champagne and the guy brought this mini-bottle. I didn't get a chance to look at it before rejecting it and asking for the Henriot. The background of the label was white or cream colored. So maybe they were serving this in Y?
Pre-departure they were serving Drappier. Used to often serve NF.
I flew Y on CPH-ARN yesterday and noticed that the label of the NF had changed.

Just flew SK523 GOT-LHR. NF was offerred to C and Y, although admittedly there were only 4 bottles and C was 2 rows, Y was 1 row. I was the only taker, being 830 in the morning

No champagne ORD-ARN either. One of the FA:s regretted to confirm that the sparkling wine would be it from now on. Strange it only concerns long haul though...
She also said they were cutting down the cabin crew during the summer, leaving them one short.
