Singapore Airlines Serving Vintage Krug Champagne

If you’re flying Singapore Airlines Suites Class or first class in the coming weeks and like champagne, you’re in for a treat, as flagged by Mainly Miles…

Singapore Airlines serving special Krug champagne

While Singapore Airlines ordinarily serves Krug Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne in its top cabin, the airline is celebrating the holidays in a special way, with two limited time Krug options:

• From December 14 to December 31, 2023, Singapore Airlines is serving 2004 Krug Brut Champagne on all Suites Class and first class flights
• The exception is that from December 24 to 26, 2023, Singapore Airlines is serving Krug Brut Rosé Champagne on all Suites Class and first class flights

Look, I’m not going to try to paraphrase the tasting notes on these champagnes and pass them off as my own, so I’ll simply point to how much these various options ordinarily retail for, and then you can draw your own conclusions (while of course acknowledging that a more expensive champagne isn’t necessarily better). Here’s the pricing in USD for these three champagnes from a wine retailer that has fair pricing:

• Krug Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne retails for $199 per bottle
• 2004 Krug Brut Champagne retails for $499 per bottle
• Krug Brut Rosé Champagne retails for $299 per bottle

This isn’t the first time that Singapore Airlines has served vintage Krug as a special treat for passengers. However, this was last done in late 2019, so it has been about four years. Meanwhile we have seen the limited time Krug Rose over Christmas more recently.

How this fits into Singapore Airlines’ champagne selection

Back in the day, Singapore Airlines served both Dom Perignon and Krug in first class, which was a mighty nice choice to have. However, in late 2022, Singapore Airlines dropped Dom Perignon. Or perhaps more accurately, Dom Perignon dropped Singapore Airlines. That’s because Emirates entered into an exclusive agreement to serve Dom Perignon onboard its flights.

Nowadays Singapore Airlines serves three different champagnes in Suites Class and first class. In addition to Krug, the airline is otherwise currently serving 2012 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, as well as the 2007 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millenaires.

So between those three options, I think most passengers will be pretty well hydrated (or dehydrated, as the case may be). 😉

Bottom line

Passengers traveling on Singapore Airlines this month are in for a treat. The airline is pouring 2004 Krug through December 31, 2023. The exception is that on December 24-26, the airline will be serving Krug Rose, in celebration of Christmas.

If you’re flying Singapore Airlines during this timeframe in Suites Class or first class, please have a glass for me!
