Dang the secret is out! I was in F on a MCO-ORD run when I ordered a Volka and OJ. The FA brought a mini bottle of Absolute One Vodka. Boy I was shocked! Asked for a glass of ice and drank it on the rocks. She told me they are now boarding 4 mini bottle of each of the following: Absolute One Vodka, Glenlivet, Maker's Mark and something else, (Sorry forgot).
Since I had brought chocolates for the FC when I boarded, as I ordered a refill, the FA brought the remaining 3 bottle still sealed! She gave me a wink and said enjoy! She even told me I could ask for these if I was in E. I was wondering how long before the cat was out of the bag!
Safe Flying!

As I posted in the F dining thread, I will personally write many nasty letters to UA if they bring back that Dutch battery acid at the expense of any of the other premium beer(s). Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat is miles ahead of Heineken (although still not an ideal beer).
Why does everyone seem to love generic or worse than generic foreign pilsner?

I would be surprised if the people in C/F did not have access gratis to these premium wines - surely United would not be so cynical?

YAY!!! MAJOR ^ to the addition of premium wine options -- I've been asking for this since the Choice menu first appeared. Can't wait to try them out (and if my upgrade doesn't clear on Saturday, I'll get my chance)! Thanks, UA!

Heaven help my seatmate if I ever break down and buy a premix margarita as tequila turns me into a Chatty Cathy. There should be a warning given before allowing me to purchase tequila drinks onboard! Fortunately, though, I seem to remember that premix is pretty nasty.
Big ^ though for the Absolute One and champagne split options!
