Cheers.

I'm so glad this was bumped after so many years.
Not entirely related, but it had me thinking of our old 'colleague' Bart Watson. Who remembers drinking champagne in F with him?

I can't see why this should be sad, just a little bubbly with life's little pleasures

A very gracious post indeed.
The original report brought back memories of my flight on LH in 2010
I was in F after a very hectic day at work and sank in to my seat and was greeted by a lovely FA who asked me my choice of drinks.
Several glasses of bubbly later, I decided to do a wine tasting menu and was served a glass of all the wines they had on board matched to the menu.
By the time I landed in FRA, I had a vague recollection of making my way somehow to the FCL near B 22
Like the OP, somewhere in there during the shower I realized that I had another flight to catch and barely made that.
The sad thing was that my next flight was from B23 and so I did not get the limo and made my way somehow to the plane.
Once on board (I was in C that segment due to a downgrade) I managed to change into my LH F pajamas and went to sleep awakening 9 hrs later just before landing.
I thought that was a very special F flight (I was one of 3 on the old plane of 16 seats in F on the 747) but after reading the OP I realized that I was but a mere child in this matter. I can barely remember the flight details let alone name any of the wines I had one after the other. I can only wonder how he could even remember the flight details after 8 bottles of Dom.

I would like to thank each and every one of the 400+ people who have commented on this thread over the past 3-1/2 years.
After spending hours today re-reading these posts in detail, I have gained a new appreciation for what I experienced on that over-the-top Singapore Airlines flight back in 2009 – which now seems like a lifetime ago.
It was through your comments that I realized how truly special this trip was for me. A moment frozen in time, never to be repeated. A cherished memory, often replayed.
Thank you again for helping me to appreciate what I was not able to comprehend at the time.

I've been cutting back lately. However I will let my arm be twisted when it comes to Champagne in F – but only a bottle or two...

This is a classic, just made popular to me by Lucky who referenced it in his post on Airline Champagnes.

heatheresq, who posted a great note right before you, is a woman, who proudly boasts that she might be able to drink 7 bottles of Dom!
I would truly love to read her trip report if she ever does!
