Transcons Are About to Get Tastier with Upgraded Wines on Delta

It’s time to raise your glass to Delta, as the airline is getting ready to pour out some new in-flight drinking options. Unfortunately fancy up in the air cocktails or craft beer kegs aren’t making an appearance to the beverage cart, but there will be plenty of new wine options for those who are fans of the reds and the whites.

The Delta Winemaker Series is set to hit the skies on September 1, as Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson has done her best to select some more premium vintages than you're typically used to on a plane. The focus will be on California wines this time, so don’t hop aboard expecting some French bubbly. Expect plenty of options from Robert Mondavi and Inception, as you’ll be able to pair everything from a Chardonnay to a Pinot Noir with your in-flight meal.

You’ll need to be flying up front in Delta’s BusinessElite cabin, so those stuck in the back won’t be invited to the in-flight fanc(ier) wine party. Also, the new options are only coming to transcontinental flights between spots like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York for now, so your connection between Atlanta and Pensacola isn’t going to receive the same type of service.
