Grange in the F lounge

[KSC]

Opened Reddit, seems it was on offer again today so not a one off.

From the article I linked ‘The Grange is making a special appearance as part of special ‘12 days of Christmas’ menu in the Sydney and Melbourne first class lounges.’

Logic says it will be there for 12 days or while stock lasts.

Grange spotted in the SYD F lounge today. But only in the roped off P1 area.

Good to know. Another motivation to get P1, I’d think.

Not really. You can pick up a bottle of grange for about the same price as a (non-sale) SYD>MEL J fare which would only net you 40 SCs or ~1% of P1.

I'd much rather have a whole bottle of grange than a dom QF J flight with a crowded lounge, sub-standard food and wine offering and a potential onboard recognition from crew.

2002 in the MEL F decanter today.



They had just finished the decanter as I was arriving but I managed to snag two glasses from the 2nd opening.

It's been 45 minutes and they haven't yet opened another, so either they are spreading them out over the day or they have a couple of bottles per day, and once they're gone that's it.

Just spoke to the F&B manager - MEL has six bottles allocated each day (and they've run out for today apparently)

In the lounge now, still serving it. P1 flying business, no escort, put myself behind the roped area
Also no gift? But others are being escorted and being gifted. Maybe the first 380 passengers?

For the first time whilst taking my order for breakfast yesterday she looked at my boarding pass and said I should sit in the roped off area, so I guess it’s something you have to do yourself if it is busy. In London and Singapore I have been escorted to a reserved spot.

Presumably you’ll have a F BP to get past Nestor? So you’ll be entitled to the roped off area anyway…

Bit of a surprise at 9am and it didn’t go well with a flat white, but the 1997 was a hitView attachment 359439

Actually had a glass today was not bad at all

Or I have passes to get me in with a J ticket.

In the Sydney F lounge now. The Grange ran out yesterday apparently.

The lounge is quite quiet with QF1 delayed by two hours.

There was a little Grange in decanter yesterday morning at the bar. They must have got to it early.

Looks like someone at QF found the cellar at Mascot and decided to liberate a couple of $10 bottles of Penfolds they got at BWS back in 2000!

seems more like 1980 prices, guess we're all showing our age!

BWS didn’t exist in 2000.

Second time within a week that things posted by AFFers have turned up there a day or two later.

I feel famous
