Delta’s revamped wine program brings new selections on board

 Delta Airlines has recently revamped its wine program, adding 17 high-quality wines to its in-flight menu that rotates seasonally until August of the next year. Available in all classes of service, the revamped program offers a variety of flavors to choose from, allowing customers to turn their in-flight meals into a fine-dining experience.


Delta’s wine program criteria went beyond just a wine’s finish, focusing on partnering with brands that share Delta’s values. The final selections reflect the diverse community of the winegrowing world and lead their industry in sustainability practices. Delta’s partnership with world-renowned Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson helped curate a wine list that is elevated, balanced, diverse, and delicious.



The extensive vetting process saw hundreds of contenders being narrowed down to the final selection. What makes Delta’s wine program unique is the fact that each wine is chosen not only for its taste but also for its ability to taste good at 35,000 feet where taste buds are dulled, and different flavors are accentuated.


Robinson explains that a good wine makes good food taste even better, and that’s especially true at altitude where you don’t have as much moisture and aroma concentration. Wines with vibrant acidity and punchy fruit and aromatics keep your taste buds active and help bring out the flavors of food.


Here’s a look at what customers in each cabin can expect:

  • Delta One: Delta’s most premium cabin will feature the highest number of premium wines ever offered onboard (for more details on new selections, see below). Delta One customers can expect a selection of two red wines, two white wines, rosé, champagne and port – featured on our printed menu that customers can peruse in-flight. For the first time ever, a rosé offering will be available year-round. 
  • First Class: First Class customers will enjoy a variety of premium selections, such as Pebble Lane Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, with 750ml pour bottle options – a returning fan favorite. First Class customers can expect to choose from one white and one red wine options. 
  • Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort Plus, and Main Cabin: New additions like Casa Saulita Chenin Chardonnay will add delicious flavor to international routes, while domestic routes will continue to enjoy some of the diverse and women-run wine brands (Imagery Estate, Une Femme) customers already know and love. 


Delta’s rotational wine program means that customers can look forward to seasonal updates to the menu. The program ensures that each wine complements Delta’s best-in-class offerings. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur, amateur, or enthusiast, Delta’s new wine selection has a little bit of everything.


Delta is committed to delivering an elevated customer experience, and their revamped wine program is just one example of their commitment to excellence. Delta’s partners that reflect the diverse community of the winegrowing world and lead their industry in sustainability practices ensure that customers can enjoy their favorite wines while advocating for a better future. With the new wine program in place, Delta passengers can now wine, dine, and recline in the air.

WHO suspends Nigeria’s free coronavirus vaccines over poor electricity supply

  The World Health Organisation has suspended Nigeria from the list of recipients for its global COVAX scheme, which provides free coronavirus vaccines to indigent countries. The global health agency disclosed Thursday that Nigeria fell short of its criteria to benefit from the scheme, which includes the ability to keep the vaccines frozen. Africa’s largest economy would, therefore, not be getting supplies until WHO’s requirements have been fully met to avoid vaccine loss or damages. Nigerian authorities had been reliant on handouts from the WHO-funded COVAX programme, anticipating the delivery of a shipment of 100,000 Pfizer jabs last month. Following stalled arrival of the vaccines, administration officials had blamed “politics” and “logistics due to no fault of Nigeria” for the delay. Humanitarian information portal ReliefWeb reported WHO Regional Director for Africa, Matshidiso Moeti, to have said at a virtual press briefing Thursday that only Cape Verde, Rwanda, South Africa a...
