Delta adds 17 wines to its menu

Delta Air Lines has launched an exclusive inflight wine program featuring 17 meticulously selected wines, redefining beverage service across all Main Cabin and premium cabins.  

Passengers traveling in Main Cabin and above can savor an enhanced and diverse wine list, thoughtfully curated to complement the airline’s gourmet onboard dining and elevate the travel experience to new heights.  

Delta’s Food & Beverage team, led by Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson, evaluated over 1,300 wines. Through multiple tasting rounds, the contenders were narrowed to 500, then 200, then 32, before the final 17 were handpicked for their distinctive profiles, varietal excellence, vineyard provenance, and availability. 

Each bottle was selected not only for its quality, but its ability to shine at cruising altitude, where cabin pressure and humidity can alter taste perception and highlight different flavor notes.  

Delta One: In the flagship cabin, guests can explore the most extensive premium wine program in Delta’s history, including two reds, two whites, a Champagne, a year-round rosé, and a port, all presented on an elegantly designed menu. For the first time, rosé is available on Delta One throughout the year. 

First Class: First Class guests are treated to acclaimed selections such as Pebble Lane Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, served in full-size 750ml bottles—a much-requested return. Selections include one white and one red, both of premium pedigree. 

Delta Premium Select and Delta Comfort Plus: New additions like Casa Saulita Chenin Chardonnay enrich international routes, while domestic flights continue to feature celebrated and women-led wineries, such as Imagery Estate and Une Femme—ensuring both variety and a focus on diversity in winemaking.
