[serious tone]
Hi all
I was just wondering if anyone knew what the "criteria" are for being selected for a drop of red from the decanter that sits on the bar in the SYD F lounge (I assume there is a similar device in MEL)?
I have heard that they have had Hill of Grace in the decanter - so it is obviously where they put their special wines.
I have been offered wine from the decanter and it was exceptional - of course I have no recollection of the name or variety of the wine - I just recall it being nice.
However even though I do tend to move to red (wine sequence in the F lounge is generally: Champers, [possible second champers], sauvignon blanc (with entree - often the squid), Shirazy type red [with rangers steak] and desert wine with the cheese board - not that I am a creature of habit...) I don't often get to try "the good stuff" and wondered if there was a trick.
It is obviously not status/cabin driven as I have been offered the good stuff as a standard WP, not been offered when in QF F and have been offered as a P1 in J.
[/serious tone]
The reason for the serious tone "tags" is that I didnt want this to descend into another debate about WP vs P1 and entitlements as the past few days have been a bit tiresome in relation to that topic.
