During my trip to Zimbabwe, I intentionally planned a roughly 10-hour layover at Zurich Airport, to be able to do some lounge hopping, after getting off my SWISS 777 first class flight from Miami.

Love this lounge, clean, spacious, quiet, and the whisky bar is great. Like for all Swiss lounges, lacks some food and beverage options... there is Prosecco and no champagne, super basic wines, no many Swiss dishes... but the space itself is great.
Whiskey bar is a nice space...too bad all the whiskeys they have on hand seem like duty free clearance sale specials (very likely how they were acquired). Would rather have a few premium or at least interesting whiskeys than whatever happened to be unsold at the DFS store downstairs.
Space is nice but on later flights (there’s a couple departing around or after 10pm) I find the (as you say quite mediocre) food is almost non-existent with staff packing up and cleaning in the run up to closing, which is quite annoying. Ironically these are the flights you’d want the best lounge dining experience for so that you can maximise sleep on the plane.
FYI the term "workstation" refers to a particular type of computer (if you don't believe me, Google it) and it is confusing when you use it to mean a work space/area/room/whatever.
@ Jones -- You're right, thank you! Didn't have enough coffee when I wrote that, I guess. Fixed now.
The wine selection both in the Senator lounge and the Business lounge is awful. Just outright awful. Worse than KLM, which is generally considered to have the worst and cheapest wine of any major European flag-carrier. Unlike the Netherlands, which has almost no domestic wine industry, Switzerland actually has a very good domestic wine industry. You would think Switzerland's flag-carrier would at least serve Swiss wine in the more premium of the two mass lounges, the Senator lounge.
The Morra sparkling wine being served is ranked 2.9 stars. That's about as bad as you can get.
perfect write up; food way below average just like in Swiss biz class; in their lounges often only pork (considering that more than a billion people in the world cannot eat pork, rather insensitive); but lounge location fantastic - so eat with you eyes onto the tarmac
Swiss wine sucks, and switzerland doesn't have any good wine industry lol... are you crazy?!
Well written and quite informative. I also appreciated the photos to provide visuals. Mainly I was thankful for the comparison between the two lounges. I had tried to distinguish what the differences were on my own with not much luck. But your article helped me understand. The difference is quite well.
Thank you
