Why no wine in TG's international business class lounges in BKK?
I've been using TG's international business class lounges for 14 years. I can't recall that wine has ever been there. Lots of spirits but! I noticed a few times now that other passengers go looking for wine and even ask the lounge staff for it.
"We have Port Wine" seems to be the standard answer.
OK, I know that wine is expensive in Thailand but is it just a cost issue?
Every other business class lounge in BKK, that I've been to, has wine (QF,BA,SQ,SK ...)

I have found when in Thailand it is best to look for more lateral solutions to annoying little problems

I was just there, but did not pay much attention to wine or beer selections since I don't really drink.
Can't recall if there was any in HKG either. I made a few trips for snacks and soft drinks.

Just been to KL and wines is not in the TG lounge there either. Noticed a lot of SQ passengers in the TG lounge. I guess that's SQ, across the corridor, sending all their business class and*Golds to Thai?
