ANA unveils refreshed global wine selection
ANA will introduce a renewed wine selection on international flights from December
All Nippon Airways (ANA) will introduce a renewed wine selection on its international flights beginning in December.
The new collection has been available in the "ANA LOUNGE" for international flights and the "ANA SUITE LOUNGE" for both international and domestic flights since September.
The 82-bottle lineup was curated from a global pool of more than 1,000 submissions. ANA's wine specialists, in consultation with members of The Connoisseurs, led the selection process.
"Working alongside ANA's wine specialists and members of The Connoisseurs, we meticulously evaluated over 1,000 global wine submissions to narrow the choice down to 82 highly-rated wines," said Tomoji Ishii, Executive Vice President, Customer Experience Management at ANA. "We hope our new wines will make the customer experience in the sky unforgettable and impressive."
The collection features carefully chosen wines from around the world, including Europe, especially France, North and South America, Oceania, South Africa and Japan. Each wine was chosen to complement meals served on board and in the lounges.
International First Class passengers will be offered a premium selection, including the champagne, Krug. The selection also includes high-end bottles such as the Second Growth Bordeaux, Château Léoville Barton, from Médoc, France, and other premium wines.
The collection was guided by renowned sommeliers from The Connoisseurs: Olivier Poussier, who was named World's Best Sommelier in 2000, and Satoru Mori, a leading Japanese sommelier and 2022 recipient of the Medal with Yellow Ribbon.
