Wine in the Air
Who would have thought to do a wine tasting among the clouds? I found this article from Globe and Mail and just thought it was not only a witty piece but full of great wines to consider. As someone who isn't be best at air travel, I'll have to reconsider my next air plane approach when it comes to drinking wine. Here's a little snippet, but I recommend reading the whole article, definitely gives a new meaning to business class:

As your intrepid correspondent for this gruelling executive-class assignment, I'm happy to report that Cathay Pacific and Lufthansa know how to get the palate revved near the nose of the plane. They both christen your voyage with an offering of bona-fide bubbly.

Champagne would be a splendid luxury in any environment, but it's especially welcome up in the sky. The reason: Aircraft cabins play havoc with the senses, restraining the taste buds like a seatbelt. That's why smart carriers choose wines with bold flavours and invigorating acidity. Lively champagne is a wake-up call for the palate.

On Cathay, the current choice is Deutz, a bone-dry offering that would do New Year's proud. Toasty and layered with hints of nuts and honey, it finishes with crisp acidity and a lingering mousse.
