QF First: Which LHR T3 Lounge for the best champagne?

[travellinmumberry]

I am very happy to have managed to get myself a Qantas First award flight out of LHR T3 in April and flying to Sydney via Dubai.
Now for the very important question of where to find the best champagne along the way.
I know that Emirates first is the place to go in Dubai but I will have a few hours in Heathrow at T3 and working out which lounge(s) to visit.
I have tried searching and looks like the champagne offerings in BA first are not great, but does anyone with the same priorities as me have any suggestions. I think I can use BA, AA, Emirates or Cathay lounges.
Champagne is top priority, shower facilities next, business/work areas last.

I think EK wins then

I am QF SG and flew J on QF out of T3 in January and they wouldn't let me in the EK lounge but you might have more luck in F - I was quite underwhelmed by the Cathay lounge too but it is way better than the BA lounge - looking forward to the new QF lounge there

I can third EK. The offerings in the other lounges are pretty poor, and flying QF F will get you into the door with no issues.

Cathay's a much more intimate experience and you have the ala carte option. From memory in the Cathay first lounge you can self pour Barons de Rothschild and Moet. It's quite and service is good and you can also have dishes from the noodle bar brought to you.

EK has amazing tarmac views and Veuve. It's a buffet but looks very good (I didn't try anything as was full from CX first lounge and saving myself for the Pol Roger on QF). I'd say give CX a go and if you don't like it you can swing by EK.

need to be on EK metal or in First to use their lounge at LHR T3.

The CX lounge is pretty good for bubbles.

The OP asked for a oneworld lounge, which rules EK out. My vote is the BA F lounge.

Another vote for CX.

But the OP is flying F which puts EK back in the equation

I suspect the thread title was a little misleading - it's more to do with QF First travel.

I have altered the title..

I suspect the thread title was a little misleading - it's our opportunity to assist the OP.

Now if only there was someone who could fix that...

I flew QF2 last January in First and was directected to the Ek lounge and allowed in with no questions.
