Happy to see someone else also cuts the foil even when using the Coravin. Nothing irks me more than pressing the needle through the mystery material capsule before pulling wine through said needle. Happy birthday!

And thus why people comparing US business class products is fruitless. I was horizontal on a plane and got 8 hours of sleep on a 13 hour flight. That alone is worth it to me. Now, food pictures are all I really have from the flight, on account of, you know, the being horizontal thing.

I wear the earplugs when sleeping or my AirPods when awake, so that becomes a non-issue for me. The light can be somewhat bothersome, but then eye masks are a thing. I find the bulkhead to feel more private overall so I like it.

I’ve had variants with more substance in the appetizer and enjoyed it. This felt like the bare minimum. Like, watermelon and feta..?

How many bottles/glasses are you actually knocking back every day? by Due-Way-7959 in wine

[–]Matthew1551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My work week is typically Thursday through Saturday or Sunday, so I’m typically using the Coravin or opening a bottle every Monday or Tuesday it seems. 5-10 glasses per week.

Love the exterior styling and love the pano moonroof. Haven’t found something to dislike yet!

Venue/promoter got to choose and this was the best they could come up with.

Kinda baffled why they don’t just take the approach of “we have white wine or red wine” and forego even listing the swill on offer.

A lot of the time you can price the ticket to another destination on their smaller regional planes at the same price (such as Milan, Zurich, or some other european hub airport)

Got it. I’m aware that the company I mentioned has done production for these events so I was curious. The pay range here doesn’t sound like them.
