Honor in the Sky
Gewurztraminer Wine, a product of Carmel Wineries served in First Class, ranked first in a recent competition among airline wines, another achievement for El Al. The wine had been chosen by El Al’s premium class passengers at a special tasting event held a year ago, and since then has been served to El Al passengers in First Class.
The Wines on the Wing competition, sponsored by the prestigious travel magazine Global Traveler, the Magazine for Luxury Business Travelers, was held in August 2011.
Twenty-eight airlines participated in the competition, including South African Airways, Etihad Airways (United Arab Emirates), Lufthansa, TAP (Portugal) and others.
Boutique Beer – Alexander Beer in EL AL’s Premium Classes
Passengers in EL AL’s premium classes can now enjoy Alexander Blonde, a light ale that’s suited to the Israeli weather and temperament and perfect for long or short flights.
Boutique beers do not go through filtering and pasteurization processes and thus retain their fresh taste. They are generally brewed for local consumption because they have a shorter shelf life than commercially produced beers.
The boutique beer industry has been growing in Israel in recent years, as it has in other countries all over the world.
