https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...30b1c1090d.jpg
was quite surprised to get a rosé champagne as drink after boarding. it did not taste so great to me and in general, I also do not like rosé wines. my second glass was a "widow" Clicquot after take off also first time ever I got a rosé champagne on an airplane the champagne is from Canard-Duchêne https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...81c33098a0.jpg |

the FA did not know anything and i had the impression that she was confused and saw the first time such a "chomphu" champagne… I did not bother the purser as she was busy with the owner of a multi billion company....
route ZRH BKK |
They have had the rosè option for a while now - I’ve had it when they ran out (yes, that’s becoming the norm) of regular champagne on both DPS and DXB flights recently. I find it decent enough as a break away from the standard one, but only if it is really cold. |
They had plenty of both on AKL BKK a couple of weeks back.

In my experience champagne is most of the time perfectly cold in First, but in J too often not cold enough, which is of course a negligence of the FA worst drink service in my experience have some chinese carrier, where you get hot orange Juice, white wine at around 23 C and very cold red wine |

yes indeed, champagne that is not cold enough is horrible. even more important than for white wine.

Maybe they want to be opposite? Haha |

Agree completely - in F they bother putting it on ice to keep cold, but in J all too often the bottle is just left outside on a trolley in the valley with the rest of the wine.

Reminds of a stay in Kunming many years ago. The guesthouse indicated there was a fridge with beer and other drinks and it was on the honor system; the fridge wasn't turned on though and everything was at room temp because "cold drinks aren't good for you."
Not sure that they really wanted to save electricity by not turning on the fridge. It is just not custom to serve ice cold drinks during winter time in China! of course this has changed in hotels with a lot of foreigners |

Rose was available on all my flights recently - ICN, TPE and MEL. Both to and from BKK. VC was offered as the standard pre-departure drink, but the rose was opened on request.
Ex ICN no alcoholic beverages served prior to departure. Local regulations apparently (but I don't remember the same restriction on CX). |
