Yes it is all about personal preferences - feel free to discuss Dom with the Ette tonight bc as she adores it.

I actually rather enjoy Dom... But each to their own - more for me.

But I have always enjoyed more of the "brut" style

Personal preference most definitely.......and please don't get me wrong, I do drink it and I also don't complain when I drink it.........I just don't pay for it, so if you're offering, penegal.....please don't pass by my offered glass, as I will force myself!

I sometimes wonder if people really like something, or just like it because its expensive. I once commented to a friend how hideous some designer brand was and her response was "but its worth a lot of money!". Doesnt make it good.
Not suggesting that some people dont legitimately enjoy the Dom; I just dont find that the taste matches the price tag. Why spend over $200 on a bottle, when I can spend $60 on something far more enjoyable.

There been some of blind taste vs open label and price tasting tests/studies done that corroborate this. People naturally tend to rank more expensive items higher.

I wouldn't know much about champagne but I much preferred the EK lounge Moët to the vueve clicquot served on board in J... Though I'd assume the lounge gear is the cheaper stuff...

Pretty sure EK serve Moet onboard in J. Their J lounges have Veuve.

But as we know, peoples tastes differ and we all prefer different things. Life would be pretty boring if we were all the same

Bulkhead middle seat. The wing area is very noisy.

I've had a guts full of SQ - they can't give me J saver on Mon PEK-SIN to connect F SIN-MEL- can only get F saver out of PVG then connect - don't you hate that?

PEK dep was going to give me 6hrs lounge play time - PVG dep only 1.5hr connection. I am so over them!

Does it affect the price?

You get what you pay for Cruiser.

Extra S$24 tax and S$17 re-issue fee - whole scenario quite complicated - I paid F rates for J/F mixed class - changed to F/F for only S$42 - only downer is I wanted to go to Beijing - now back to PVG next 2 nts.

This makes me sad. I was looking forward to trying PH Rare on our trip in September.

That is a significant change! From a luxury champagne to a nice champagne... I wonder what they are serving the J lounge now? With that magnitude of change in F, J might be down to Omni or passion pop!

Is this perhaps a temporary stop-gap due to shortage of the Piper?
