Earlier this week Qantas dropped Taittinger from its Melbourne F lounge wine list. Unnamed sources said it was to make more room for more Qantas Cool-Aid, but this has yet to be confirmed. AFF member and frequent F lounge visitor JessicaTam was interrupted from her rocking back and forth in the foetal position to say "I had just got used to not being able to have Delamotte, and now they take away Taittinger! What next - will we have to buy something in duty free to drink?"
Prudence and Bartholomew Cuthbertson-Smythe from Brighton were overheard arguing what to drink from the remaining champagne on the menu. "I am not going to drink anything that reminds me of your mother" said Bartholomew. "And I am not going to have anything that sounds like that simply ghastly aftershave your brother gave you when we launched the second yacht", replied Prudence.
A Qantas spokesperson stated that it was due to a change in policy. Soon they would RSA all visitors to the lounge on arrival, so would not need to keep any alcohol. Taittinger was just the one they ran out of first.
