Fine wines in the spotlight

Our Discovery wine series features a unique selection of fine wines on board each season. Surprise your palate with our new selection of Unearthed Gems – lesser-known wines away from the six “noble varieties”. Each bottle tells a story of its own. Relish the joy of discovery as you sip on an array of exotic reds, including Opuscule de Haute Serre Prunelard 127 from France, Quinta do Crasto Tinta Roriz from Portugal and Domaene Gobelsburg Zweigelt from Austria. Uncork inspiring insights with our selection, available in First class and Business.

An evolving curation

Each year, our wine experts sample more than a thousand bottles to bring you the very best from across the globe, including vibrant Bordeaux reds like Echo de Lynch-Bages and Grand Cru calibre wines from Krug Champagne and Château Lynch-Bages. If you’re travelling in First class or Business, you’ll discover wines sourced from all the major wine-producing destinations we fly to.
