How does wine taste 11 kilometres above the ground? It turns out that slightly different than at home or in a wine bar. It is the third time when we have awarded airlines for serving high quality wine that truly deserves the Sky Vineyards accolade.

This year the 12 participating airlines provided nearly 70 samples of wine and the undisputed winner of that swept up most awards was Singapore Airlines. However, many wines served by other airlines are also good enough for wine aficionado to feel on board as if they were in their favourite restaurant.

Divided into two sub-panels, the jury that consisted of the editors of a wine magazine and sommeliers, tasted wine in the following categories: sweet, sparkling, and white and red served in economy, business and first class respectively. This time most carriers decided to present wine served in business and first class cabins, which is

barely surprising, as high-quality wines are served mostly in those premium classes. In this issue you will find the complete list of all the winners as well as interesting comments of the members of the jury.
