Love That Airline Sherry

February 16, 2007 at 9:01 AM | 0 Comments

If you're a wine buff and a frequent flyer, then the annual UK Business Traveller Cellars in the Sky awards are some kind of heaven for you. More than thirty international airlines competed for the awards, which recognize those with the best wine lists for serving in business and first class.

It turns out that those who are really in the know about a good wine are the Kiwis, with Air New Zealand snapping up three prizes, including the funky-sounding "Most Original First Class Wine List." (Does that mean it includes stuff like kiwi fruit wine? We hope so.) American Airlines picked up two awards, with big bonus points for its special wine, the Lustau La Plaza Vieja sherry. And we thought sherry was for grandmothers.

"What about the wine lists for those in economy class," you ask? They don't seem to have a sponsor for the "Wine That Tastes the Same As All the Others" award yet.
