Travel magazine gives Fort Worth-based American Airlines “Best Sparkling Wine” award

by PegNews wire

Global Traveler magazine selected American Airlines as serving "Best Sparkling Wine in the North American Premium Class" category for its Gloria Ferrer Brut Sonoma.

The survey included 27 airlines who submitted 54 white wines, 56 red wines, and 24 champagne or sparkling wines currently on their international Business Class and North American Premium Class wine lists for a blind taste test. The tasting was organized by columnist Eunice Fried using 35 independent judges who are noted wine-industry experts. The airlines with the highest totals won.

Selection of the exceptional wines served onboard American's flights is handled by official wine consultant, Ken Chase, a classically trained winemaker and viticulturist. Chase updates American's wine list monthly to ensure that only the finest red, white, sparkling and dessert wines are available onboard.

Did you lazily take this twaddle straight from the press release? AA's coach class wines (even on international routes) are utter piss. They buy it for less than 50c a bottle and sell it for $5.

I've enjoyed some very good wines on AA in business class to Europe. But, at 35,000 feet, everything pretty much tastes the same after one drink, anyway.
