> Airplane wine has always been pretty terrible to me and only purchased

If you're having to pay for the wine, you're not flying in the cabin where they have the good wines.

At least on American domestic flights the free wine in first is the same crappy wine you pay for In economy.

There are physiological reasons for poorer tasting food and beverages in-flight. Even if the wine is good, the changes in air pressure and environment can affect the taste, a lot.

I had some of the best wines in the world while flying. Not on AA though.

Emirates or Etihad or something? Some first class cabins seem to have nicer food + wine than most restaurants.

Singapore Air. Some of the best champagne I’ve ever had.

I've heard they're a great airline also. Hope to fly with them some day.

SQ Suites is definitely one of the best soft products in the sky. Dom and Krug aside, they even go over the top for coffee. First time I’ve had Jamaican Blue Mountain served in flight.

Agreed. I'll go out of my way to fly SQ because the experience is so good compared to someone like United.

Try Air France in business or first.
