SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[Cruiser Elite]

Wouldn’t mind a few bottles @$30 each. Where can I find them?

You can’t - but that is what this rubbish is worth - same as the Clonakilla O’Riada Shiraz that they masquerade as a R or F worthy Australian Shiraz. It wasn’t that long ago 2012 RWT was offered if R and F ex AU - others may think these are worthy but I certainly do not.

Ok so I exaggerated a bit but in all honesty who thinks a $50 wine at retail is worth stocking in F cabins on one of the world’s alleged premium carriers?

Over last few years SQ have clearly instructed Wine Panel to to take a scalpel to budget for local wines as evidenced to cheap cough they are now offering. As always YMMV and fill your cellars with these if it’s to your liking.

Why should you wine drinkers be spoilt with more expensive reds? $30 wine is more than enough for pairing with the $5 hawker food they mostly serve up !

I mainly fly Sq J....the hard product is terrible on the A350-900 (actually incl the A380) where you have to sleep at an angle unless you miraculously score a bulkhead. Food is ok if cf to Qf but definitely a stepdown cf to yesterday. Don't know why they bother with BTC from non Sin stations. They usually have 1 Bordeaux red which makes me happy. Their Aussie reds are cheap rubbish. If not for their stake in Air India, they will be making millions with the ongoing ME war.

We need a thriving EK, EY and QR to keep SQ on their toes!
