    When did QF stop serving free beer & wine in domestic economy?

    First up, I'll admit I tend to tune out when it comes to on board announcements. I also don't drink on domestic flights. Tonight I was actually paying attention and caught the announcement that beer and wine is $6.50 each in economy. Since when has this policy been in place? Thanks, pw.
