Korean Air to introduce new Prestige Class wines on short-haul routes
By Sharon Petersen Thu Oct 26, 2023
Korean Air selected six new wines for the airline’s short-haul flights to be served in Prestige Class in collaboration with Marc Almert, a world-renowned sommelier.
The new selection features a variety from both new and old - from France, Germany and Australia, and will be served in cycles to tailor to the changing season. The selection also highlights a more diverse, unique blend from a variety of grapes like Riesling, Grenache, and Merlot.
In demonstrating the airline’s commitment to exceptional service, Korean Air organized an in-flight wine training session led by Marc Almert for 150 first class cabin crew members, where they deepened their understanding of the wines the airline serves.
The airline has rolled out a series of initiatives to enhance its in-flight services and experiences. Last October, the airline overhauled its wine service, unveiling a new selection of 52 wines selected by Marc Almert. Responding to the global fascination with Korean culture and preference for vegan dietary cuisine, the airline also introduced a new Korean style vegan menu inspired by traditional Buddhist temple cuisine, which was met with acclaim from passengers.
