Champagne: A First-Class Tradition

When flying with Singapore Airlines, passengers in first-class can expect more than just a comfortable seat; they are treated to a luxurious experience that includes a selection of fine champagne. The airline pours approximately 400,000 bottles of bubbly each year, ensuring every guest is offered exquisite options like Krug’s Grand Cuvée and the 2015 Bollinger.

Expert Selection Process

The meticulous wine selection process involves a dedicated team of wine experts making annual trips to the renowned Champagne region in France. Among them are esteemed figures like Jeannie Cho Lee, a Master of Wine, and British wine writer Oz Clarke. Their mission is clear: to sample a wide variety of wines and identify those that will enhance the in-flight dining experience, even at 38,000 feet.

Pairing Wines with In-Flight Cuisine

To curate the perfect list of wines, Singapore Airlines considers how each drink will pair with their onboard meals. Wines with a touch of sweetness can complement milder dishes, while drier options may bring out the flavors in spicier meals. Whether savoring Singapore-inspired chicken satay or classic lobster thermidor, passengers can enjoy a perfectly paired glass of champagne or wine that enhances their overall experience.
