In the video, which has surpassed 12 million views on social media, Kinch explained that renowned champagne brands like Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut are served to passengers. “The champagne is always opened on the spot and presented to customers in a sophisticated manner,” she highlighted.
But what happens to the open bottles that are not fully consumed? Kinch revealed that these leftovers are not used by economy class passengers nor shared with the cabin crew. Instead, all leftover champagne is discarded.
“At the end of each flight, we discard all open bottles of champagne to ensure they are not reused on the next flight,” Kinch explained while showing the moment when a drink, which can cost between $50 and $140 per bottle, was thrown away. “We always open a new bottle before serving it to the customers,” she added.
The revelation highlights the contrast between the glamour of first class and the behind-the-scenes of a commercial flight, raising reflections on waste. Despite the luxury and sophistication offered, the practice draws attention to the environmental and financial costs of maintaining the high standards of this unique experience.
