EK FA reusing champagne

[Hvr]

Emirates flyer Evgeny Kaumoff says he was taking a video of his seat aboard a recent fight from Dubai to Barcelona when he captured one of the airline’s flight attendants possibly committing a pretty gross party foul: pouring Champagne back out of a glass and back into the bottle.

It's not known whether or not it was reused.

Another reason to always get a sealed can and go from there.

A can of Champers? Clearly a teetotaller Hvr!

Zero chance of me drinking champers.

Yes, you're right. I'm teetotal.

From other threads.
This is standard practice to discard pre-takeoff champagne into the bottle, which is then put in the waste bin.
As you can't dispose of liquids before takeoff

This must be an Emirates thing because on our aircraft you can absolutely put liquid down the drain on the ground. Just as I imagine you can on Emirates since passengers would be using the bathrooms and water going down the sink after washing hands.

Could this be a Champagne flush or Bubbles down the loo!

I can propose one hypothesis about this story.

There weren't any AFFers in the F cabin.

No offence to Hvr but I find some of these types of stories pretty tiresome. The passenger seems to have no real knowledge of what was happening but gets some moments of glory & airline is placed in an awkward situation of either ignoring the post or using up resources that could be better utilised.
Maybe I am getting old & grumpy but the travel industry (and others) seem to be facing point scoring critics & offence takers in increasing numbers

I agree. As someone who works in the industry, I get very sick of these sorts of "stories" that are nothing more than blatant harassment of someone doing their job. It seems you can't log onto a new website without some click bait story like "what you didn't know your pilot does", "what the flight attendant really thinks of you", "where the pilots sleep while you're suffering in economy" etc etc.

Yep and nevermind industry people are constantly photographed and have video's of them taken at work by every dick and his dog. Honestly where else do you have randoms looking over your shoulder while you work, eat, rest and recording it all on iPhones for later upload to a social media site. Mostly edited and out of context with the rather grimy intent of getting that person in trouble.

How many office workers face this kind of scrutiny by people who know nothing about their jobs, their procedures but seem to think they've spotted a heinous error and want to tell the world about it? If most people had to work under those conditions there would be outrage. These are just regular workers, not celebrities or high-profile individuals who are paid for being public property. The world has become needlessly voyeuristic and judgemental. Most people could do with a big dose of mind your own business.

Absolutely no offence taken. I thought it may have been click bait but also knew that we could have some fun with it.
