Which airlines offers the best wine?

[Roy Hersh]

Domestic or International carriers ... what have you seen that has wowed you on board?

Your favorite airlines for fine wines ... or is this just an oxymoron?

[Andy Velebil]

Since I am regulated to the cattle car section of the plane, there isn't exactly a plethera of great wines being poured. But by far International (non-USA based companies) airlines have the best wine and dinning on board IME.

I like Virgin Atlantic, not only for the on-board amenities, but even in the cattle car section I've been given a nice glasses of Port that the stewardess got for me out of the 1st class section

TAP, the Portuguese Airline, generally has an ok selection of Ports in mini-bottles that they hand out when asked..and they give you all you want (not to mention feeding you tons of food)

I can't remember any airline in particular for its wine selection, so that's probably saying something. For beer, Horizon Air. Too bad they don't have much coverage. And sorry, Andy, but I had an incredibly bad experience (nothing to do with wine or beer) with Virgin Atlantic such that I will never fly them again.

The best I've seen was Cathay Pacific. I've heard Singapore Airlines is also good.

[Gary Banker]

Thai Airways

I would say Lufthansa..

Definitively Andy, if the question was "Which airline offers more food" TAP would win by far

The best I have had was in Business Class on Jet Airways (India) where I was served a free-flowing supply of Dom Perignon Vintage 1996 followed by as much Graham's 20 year old tawny as I could drink.

It was a 9 hour flight and my colleagues and I did not sleep a wink :twisted: :blah:

[Eric Menchen]

Singapore Air had really good food, so the wine was probably decent. I don't remember Thai, but have flown it. Many years ago I flew KLM a good number of times and thought they had good food, but I wouldn't be surprised if that has changed. Sounds like I should be trying to fly Jet Airways, Business Class to India next.

yeap, I've never seen that much food served on a plane before. TAP does win in this category....though on one flight I asked for Port when they were handing out lunch. The stewart looked at me and said, "but it's to early." I just smiled and said "Its never to early for Port." He shook his head and handed me some mini bottles...I enjoyed my lunch and Port
