Not impressed with lack of champagne (LHR-MIA)

[Darren Wheeler]

A lack of champagne is VS's way of telling you to expand your palate. Sample the other choice drinks available. As you can tell, the No.10 is well received...

Have they ever run out of other drinks or is it just the champagne?

I've only ever heard of water (frozen pipes) running low but not out.

Champagne seems to be the chief victim. Perhaps because some have an over-inflated view of french fizzy wime? [:p]

That's good. I had visions that a certain mdvipond of this parish, having boarded with his sack of Limes, may be told 'Sorry, sir. We've run out of Tanqueray Number Ten'

...... Oh the pain, the pain.

Bombay (Mumbai??) Sapphire will do at a pinch. Failing that, a glass of Jet-A please, plenty of ice and a little brolly.

What? Me? [:I]

No, it just tastes nice, is easy to drink and doesn't give me a stonking headache (especially at 38,000ft...)

I have never been one to drink for the sake of drinking and VERY rarely drink over 3 glasses of anything in a night (so don't drink a lot)... so when I do drink it is because I want to drink something specific that I really appreciate. [:)]

That specific thing that I really appreciate is generally champagne (I like the occassional Port or liqeur, but pretty rarely): so hence being very peeved when VS can only supply one glass of it... [n]

I was told once I couldn't have another bottle of water in UC: 'only one bottle per pax' I was told apparently. I realise that they also go around filling up water glasses from 2l plastic bottles as well as distributing the small bottles. Not sure if the one-per-pax is true or not, but subsequently I've been able to get another.

Yes.As I've grizzled in a previous post, no port at all to sip with my cheese on the way back from SFO last month (every last drop quaffed on the outbound leg)[n].They'd run out of champagne too, after one measly pre-takeoff glass [:(!].

They should be ashamed... is that any way to run a premium cabin? [V]
