Delta Announces New Inflight Wines. Here’s What They Cost and When They’ll Be Available.

Delta has announced a new list of inflight wine options, selected in collaboration with Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson. Below is a list of which wines will be available and when. Obviously, these wines will be complimentary to passengers, but, as a frame of reference, I’ve also included price ranges for each bottle.

As is currently the case, Delta One passengers can expect a selection of two red wines, two white wines, rosé, champagne, and port on their flight.

Domestic first class wines

Domestic first class travelers will be offered Pebble Lane’s Cabernet Sauvignon and its Chardonnay. Both of these are inexpensive, ranging from $7 to $15 a bottle.

Economy wines

For travelers in Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort Plus, and Main Cabin, Delta will be adding Casa Saulita Chenin Chardonnay on international routes. On domestic routes, they’ll continue to offer existing selection such as Imagery Estate and Une Femme.

How wines were selected

All in, 17 new wines will be on offer. That list was narrowed down from over 1,300 wines submitted by wine company reps around the world. The following infographic released by Delta shows the selection process and criteria.

Conclusion

It’s nice to see Delta mixing up its wine offerings and including more premium options. In light of Delta nuking its loyalty program, this seems like one of many efforts to move upmarket and position itself as a more premium carrier.
