The Best Wines to Fly With

First class wines were presented by Lufthansa airlines to guests and journalists at The Ritz Carlton Hotel on December 6th. The exclusive wine-tasting was presented, first, by the sommelier, Marcus Del Monego, who is famous for having two prestigious titles among the sommeliers, the Champion of the World and the Master of Wine; and, secondly, by the consultant of Deutsche Lufthansa AG for the “Vinothek Discoveries” program. The collection of eight wines was accompanied by dishes chosen to enhance the wine selection. The event refl ected the effort that the airline is making with a gourmet in-fl ight food program, which began in 2000. First and business class passengers can choose between “Star Chefs” and “Vinothek Discoveries” which, according to Lufthansa, will induce gourmet memories of a trip on their airline.
