Have Virgin removed the English Sparking wine from the 787's? I ask as i have seen they have updated the website with the new Champagne brand:

There is no caveat stating that 787 would be any different? (Plus the photo is on a 787...)

no it is still the cheap English wine - but not so bad after a couple of glasses.
Not so appealing to look at - remind me of when I was in hospital !

That's a shame

I *think* VS have also got rid of those silly boob glasses as well now...well at least I never saw any sign of them on my recent 789 J flights.

Every cloud and all that...

I have to say Garden Brut is disgusting

Fortunately the Clubhouse still serves Lanson

Could not agree more - the new "champagne" is, to put it politely, crap.

We had "normal" champagne glasses a week ago. The "boob" glasses must have been useless in turbulence - the contents would have gone everywhere.

Another vote for buns's view, the Gardet really is awful. I left mine, which is unheard of. Also agree about the boob glasses, useless - they disperse the bubbles instead of conserving them.

It was Garden Brut and normal glasses on the 15 on Sat.

Did quite enjoy some of the new special Mojito menu however.

Certainly looking forward to trying them!

Love the mile high mojito - any of the fizz they serve tastes good when made into that! Just make sure they use lime and not lemon. The recipe the crew follow just says citrus but lime tastes so much better.
