The F lounge wine selection has really gone downhill in recent years. Penfolds Max's is the cheapest of the cheap rubbish. Amberley and Wynns the only potential options really.. rest is all very sub-par.

TWC have really gone downhill. 3.5 years since my last purchase, and even then I was struggling to find something good. Miss the good old My Wine Guy stage

Or use an app like cellar tracker to record locations e.g. A1, A2

Excellent - thank you all!

Brilliant - thank you all

Hi all - flying on MH to LHR via KL this Thursday with a 22:10 departure from Sydney Was intending to use the QF F lounge, but the last flight is the QF25 to Tokyo at 20:20. What time would the QF F lounge close as a result? 8pm? 7:30pm? Looks like I might only have a short stint there before...

The family and I (2 Adults, 4 yr old, 2 yr old) are flying on the 22:10 KUL flight from Syd this Thursday. All four are in Economy seats, and i'm OWE What should we expect in terms of lounge access? Will the QF F lounge still be open? Will we be directed to Plaza Premium, but then have to pay...

After several poor experiences with Qantas, I'm also keen to understand the perspectives of others here. Already LTG and fly in J to NAMR/EU/Asia regularly. ~2k status credits per year

I'm not sure the top end stuff stacks up against other regions, but you can often find reasonably priced hunter shiraz that's good quality. It's different to other regions - more spice in particular - the Philip at $15 is a good example, but there are quite a few others out there. I'm quite...

It's certainly tenuous but SK scores get bandied about so much by these discounters that it's not beyond the realm of possibility

It has to be one or the other right? Moss Wood or DM Andrew Caillard, Sam Kim gave the 2019 MW a 98

If i'm organised, i'll make sure to open a page of the red wines before the sale starts (say, at 8am) and then have it side by side when i go through at 11am or whenever the sale has started. you can view 96 wines at a time, so that's generally good enough for me. It's also quite easy to do as...

Ended up re-submitting my rejected application with the exact same content, and have just been approved. Not sure what's going on there!

Not sure if it's still on wildcard or not, but for those considering the 2018 BL CS, we had one on saturday: decanted briefily on Friday lunch time, then poured back into bottle.. drank on Saturday at ~6pm. Beautiful nose; dark fruits on the palette; tannins starting to integrate.. significant...

I'm opening one of these tomorrow (screw cap) 1 per year for my daughters birthday for the next 20 odd years!

Nope - not at all. I'm completely perplexed by the situation. Have re-submitted again to see if it's a luck of the draw thing I'm not going to lose sleep over it if I don't get it, but it's probably made me slightly more anti-virgin than i was before!

Agreed - Can't figure out how it would be relevant.. they're not 'stealing' me from Etihad, they're doing it from Qantas which currently gets 95% of my spend

Just got rejected for the status match.. the only item in the generic email sent across that applies to me is: "Holding membership in a loyalty program of an airline that partners with Velocity frequent flyer. " I do technically hold one with Etihad, but no status at all. I was matching from a...

It's a seriously good wine too - i've got another 2 lying down in the cellar. probably needs another couple of years to enter its best drinking window, and then will last considerably more! Also worth noting the bottle shape on these is a bit of a pain. Tall and skinny.. just squeezed into my...

I also own one of the Durand corkscrews. I was able to use a gift voucher from work as I was a little sceptical about the value it provides, but in hindsight, I'd probably spend my own money too. I don't open a huge number of older wines, but when I do, it performs flawlessly.. even 40+ yr old...
