Delta’s Master Sommelier, Andrea Robinson, has hand-picked her 2017 Premium Wine selections. Delta One customers flying between London Heathrow and the United States will have exclusive choices of vintages which will appear on a rotating seasonal basis, with two different reds and whites available every three months.
Throughout the year, business class customers will also be offered Charles Heidsieck Brut champagne as well as dessert wine or port following the main meal service. So well regarded are Delta’s wines that the previous port, Calem 10 Year Old Tawny, was recently awarded a silver medal at the annual U.K. Cellars in the Sky awards.
During the summer (June-August), one white will be substituted for a refreshing French rose on flights to Delta’s eight U.S. destinations served from Heathrow. The first corks being popped include Alphonse Mellot “la Moussière” Sancerre and Sokol-Blosser Dundee Hills Pinot Noir.
