In recent times, we’ve seen US airlines greatly improving their business class soft product, as they increasingly compete for premium travelers by focusing on the little touches.
Just on the champagne front, we’ve seen all of the “big three” US carriers launch exciting collaborations — American is partnering with Bollinger, Delta is partnering with Taittinger, and United is partnering with Laurent-Perrier. However, beyond champagne, it seems that one airline is investing more in its wine selection than others, and deserves some credit…

Let me of course add the caveat that quality and price aren’t always the same, but you can expect that on average, a $200 wine will be more well regarded than a $20 wine, especially when you’re not being given a check when you’re poured a glass (like on a plane). 😉
United is taking the lead with wine, but what about food?
Obviously not all Polaris business class wines are as expensive as this one. However, anecdotally I’d say that at this point, United’s wine program is much better than what you’ll find at American or Delta (despite Delta’s premium claim, the airline has often been among the least competitive with wine).
