Singapore Airlines has once again claimed the prestigious "Cellars in the Sky" accolade from Business Traveller magazine, cementing its reputation for offering the finest wine experience at 35,000 feet. This year’s judging panel meticulously sampled 250 labels from 35 global carriers, ultimately awarding Singapore Airlines the top distinction for its unrivaled onboard wine program.
Renowned for its dedication to curating world-class wines, Singapore Airlines employs a panel of acclaimed sommeliers and Masters of Wine who rigorously evaluate over 1,000 bottles annually. Each wine undergoes a careful selection process, with experts assessing flavor, aroma, and visual appeal under simulated cabin conditions to ensure peak enjoyment despite the unique challenges of altitude and pressurized cabins.
“Enhancing the inflight journey is paramount, especially on long-haul routes. Our guests expect not only superlative cuisine but also an exceptional wine list. Many of our frequent flyers are true wine enthusiasts, choosing Singapore Airlines specifically for our exclusive wine offerings,” shares Henrik Hanevold, representing Singapore Airlines.
Each year, Singapore Airlines serves upwards of two million bottles of wine onboard, including approximately 200,000 bottles of Champagne. The airline stands out as the sole carrier globally to offer both Dom Pérignon and Krug Grande Cuvée in its Suites and First Class cabins, a distinction that continues to delight discerning travelers in 2025.
As competition intensifies among premium airlines, distinctive onboard amenities such as a thoughtfully curated wine cellar and chef-driven menus have become essential differentiators. For the editorial team at BusinessClass, these elevated touches exemplify the luxury and attention to detail that define the world’s leading carriers.
