Qantas First Class menus

P1_SIN-LHR_AUG26 and P8_DFW-SYD_AUG26
No wine list given on QF8, it was similar to QF1.
Don't think I've had a decent red onboard QF F post-covid.

They had Tolpuddle pinot for a year which is the best wine they have had in living memory. Then they replaced it with a $30 pinot last year and the menu hasn't changed since.

The wine list is a disgrace. Compare it to the competitors and look at SQ’s announcement of its reds this week: https://www.singaporeair.com/content/dam/sia/web-assets/pdfs/Press_Release/ne1326AnnexeA.pdf

I've had Old Block, St Henri onboard before. Also read RWT has been served in the past.

Not a real pinot fan, so I can't comment, but I can't imagine it's up there with a first growth Bordeaux, Burgundy, Grange, etc

Why would they call the fish 'garoupa'? I understand that's a term used in some parts of Asia, but in English and in Australia I think its nearly always 'grouper'? Same fish - why the pretentious fancy word?

Not really pretentious - the word  garoupa came first; grouper is the anglicised corruption.

I learned it as garoupa first, and that was within an English context. I believe it was on a Cathay Pacific menu.

I can’t understand why Qantas can’t have international wines. All the major carriers go outside their home markets to have a wide range of Italian and French red wines.
