Agree and really appreciate your opinionFlew them before COVID … great hard-product, very pleasant staff. Lounges outside of Taiwan very 2nd-rate. Onboard IFE, food, drink very average c/f QF. Stuff like dumplings & noodles & drinks in their Taiwan lounges pretty good, showers were great.
Specific questions about wine list & dining options … meh. For food refer food-court.
I should add; I’m a bit of a fan. That food & drink is one of the most-irrelevant aspects of J travel, IMHO. If you save $500 to travel China Airlines vs <insert-best-J-meal-airline-here> it’s worth it, because even the best F meal you can get isn’t near as good as a $500 meal in a reasonable restaurant.
Thanks, do you remember what champagne they served?I also flew them before Covid, in J FRA-TPE-SYD. Decent service, food wasn’t the most amazing but the A350 from TPE was close to new and very comfortable.
Yeah I know what you mean, I mean I did have one of the best wines on an Emirates flight '1998 Chateau Leoville Las Cases'. I do look forward to flyingHmm, this was 2018 so the champagne they serve has likely changed since then … but the fanciest drink they had onboard was a Johnny Walker Blue Label, which is a very mass-market blend & very Nothing Special (so sorta like Emirates where the wine’s bought more on price than quality, except without the budget, than a Qantas or Air France where they tend to have stuff which is chosen based more on taste albeit without being as exxy - you can tell the booze buyer isn’t a booze consumer).
Thanks, Cant wait to fly!Twice in 2019 & 2020...another one booked next month.
I am a fan. The seats are great, food very good - only tried the Chinese version.
Can't help with the win list, I don't drink.

Yeah I know PointHacks did a review which had the same but then a random video showed Didier Chopin Champagne which is a huge downgrade from the vintage champagnesI don’t recall exactly but a look at OMaaT’s review from early 2020 suggest Piper or Pol depending on when the flight was. Could all have changed post Covid though.
To be fair, I think EVA is the only mainstream airline I know of that serves vintage champagne in business class?Yeah I know PointHacks did a review which had the same but then a random video showed Didier Chopin Champagne which is a huge downgrade from the vintage champagnes
You wouldn't happen to know what the champagne was?My brother just went to Rome (FCO) from Syd on China Airlines in March.
Here's his menu. (i think this is over 2 flights)
Emirates does on certain flights/ certain times of year they mix between Moet Brut / Moet Grand Vintage & Veuve Cliqout Brut / Veuve Cliqout VintageTo be fair, I think EVA is the only mainstream airline I know of that serves vintage champagne in business class?
Unfortunately not. He didn't quite take a photo of that (he was just getting dazzled by everything as it was the first J flight ever for him and GF.You wouldn't happen to know what the champagne was?
OhEmirates does on certain flights/ certain times of year they mix between Moet Brut / Moet Grand Vintage & Veuve Cliqout Brut / Veuve Cliqout Vintage
I know Singapore airlines had an allocation of Piper Heidsieck vintage but that only lasts a few months
EVA has vintages in that range?Oh
I was thinking the higher end vintages in the $300-400 range!
Good to know as we have a flight from SYD to TPE & then from TPE to Osaka in JUnfortunately not. He didn't quite take a photo of that (he was just getting dazzled by everything as it was the first J flight ever for him and GF.
He did mention the catering out of TPE was better than Syd. Had some lobster thing.
Yes! Famously so. VC La Grande Dame was standard offering pre covid. Now not so extensive, with LP grand siècle served only on Paris and NY flights according to OMAAT.EVA has vintages in that range?
