Not everyone pays much attention to the label on the tiny bottle of wine you order on a plane. But if you ve ever enjoyed a glass on an American Airlines flight and thought about hunting down the bottle after you land, the company s new wine club makes that a whole lot easier.
Launching today, Flagship Cellars (operated by Vinesse Wines) will mail subscribers wines from American Airlines revolving collection, claiming to be the first U.S. airline to offer its onboard wines to customers at home. Each year, a dedicated team of wine experts carefully reviews nearly 2,000 bottles to select those that will join the award-winning American Airlines wine program, the airline s announcement says. For the first time ever, travel and wine enthusiasts can enjoy these premium wines by having them delivered straight to their door with American s new Flagship Cellars at-home wine experience.
