Which airlines serve the most popular wines?
A panel of international travellers and wine experts has declared easyJet’s wine to be the best white wine in a recent blind tasting of airline wines, conducted by Skyscanner. 


The panel was asked to blind taste 12 red and 12 white wines served on board the major carriers.
EasyJet’s Louis Mondeville Côtes de Gasgogne from France took first place in the white wine category, ahead of SAS (Crusan Colombard Sauvignon Côtes de Gasgogne, France) and Virgin Atlantic (Paul Sapin, Florinda Airen Sauvingnon Blanc, Spain)
The winning red was British Airways’ Argento Malbec, followed by Emirates’ Weighbridge Shiraz by Peter Lehmann (Australia).
KLM and Virgin Atlantic were the only airlines to have their wines appear in the top 5 in both the red and white categories.
James Cave, Skyscanner’s wine expert and editor of the wine blog Regularwino, said, “It is worth noting that the drinking conditions are different at 30,000 feet – your taste buds are dulled, the wine may not be room temperature and the reduced amount of fresh oxygen in the pressurised cabin means your wine won’t breathe in quite the same way as it would on the ground.â€
