This Airline Pours 400,000 Bottles of Champagne a Year - Here's How It Picks Its Wines
Briefly

On a typical long-haul flight, like the New York to Singapore nonstop that's the world's longest regularly scheduled service, cabin staff will serve a full case of Champagne. Other routes, like those on the double-decker Airbus A380, will easily go through two cases of bubbly. This impressive feat results in the airline pouring about 400,000 bottles of Champagne a year to ensure their first-class guests receive a luxurious and celebratory experience.
Before any corks are popped at 38,000 feet, Singapore Airlines' team of wine experts embarks on an annual buying trip to northern France. Comprised of notable figures such as Jeannie Cho Lee, Michael Hill Smith, and Oz Clarke, their mission is to taste a remarkable array of wines. They meticulously select the specific bottlings that will provide a joyful and memorable experience for passengers flying at high altitudes.
