Grape Expectations for British Airways’ New Port

by Qian Leung @ 18 Aug 2017

British Airways has added Graham’s Six Grapes, the Port favoured by Sir Winston Churchill, to its business class (Club World) drinks menu starting this month. Back then it was known as Graham’s Vintage Character Port and was served to his guests at Chartwell House, his country home. The historic Port has a rich bouquet of ripe plums and cherries and will pair particularly well with the desserts and cheeses on board this month, in particular the roasted white chocolate and hazelnut tart and the cheddar and camembert with spiced mulled apple jelly.

Colin Talbot, British Airways’ head of catering, said: “Port is incredibly popular in Club World - last year alone nearly 41,000 bottles were served to our business class customers - so we are delighted to be adding Graham’s Six Grapes to the menu. At altitude it holds its flavour well thanks to its good structure and with the long lingering finish, it will wonderfully complement the dessert and cheese selection on flights.”
