BA serves English sparkling wine in Business Class

British Airways has made a significant enhancement to its Club World Business Class service by offering a curated selection of English sparkling wines alongside its signature Champagne, the Heidsieck Monopole Silver Top Non-Vintage. The initial pour features the acclaimed Digby Fine English Brut, with Simpsons Chalklands Cuvee Brut, Wiston Estate Brut, and Balfour Rosé de Noirs rotating in the months ahead. In First Class, the esteemed Hattingley Valley remains the exclusive English sparkling option. Each label is showcased for a dedicated three-month window, allowing guests to experience the diversity of England’s top vineyards.

The English sparkling wine industry has seen remarkable growth, with production volumes and international recognition reaching new heights in 2025. Over the past few years, annual English wine sales have soared by nearly 70%, and new vineyard plantings average over 1.6 million vines per year. British Airways’ decision to highlight these award-winning wines underscores the airline’s commitment to supporting homegrown excellence and providing travelers with a taste of Britain’s vibrant wine scene at 35,000 feet.
