Business ClassBusiness DomesticEconomy Class
Finnair have scrapped free drinks on many long haul flights. Flights to Bangkok, Goa, Havana, Ho Chi Minh City, Krabi, Phuket, Puerto Plata and Puerto Vallarta will still offer soft drinks, juices and water throughout the flight, free of charge. Beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase during the flight. Flights to China, Japan, Seoul, Delhi and Singapore will offer beer and wine with their meal free of charge. But spirits will be charged. For those travelling to the United States (New York, Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago), their first (main) meal comes with beer and/or wine free of charge, but then a charge.

Sparkling Wine Joseph Perrier Brut Finnair inflight drinks

Sparkling Wine Joseph Perrier Brut

Great Sparkling Wine
A really good Sparkling Wine, its pricey on the ground... so you might as well get the benefits of paying a fortune for your ticket, and enjoy this proper French stuff from Reimes.

The Sparkling Wine Joseph Perrier comes in a bottle short haul, but it is served for you long-haul.

Kavaklidere Narince

Finnair inflight drinks White

As a result of this change, this Turkish White has a less oaky taste, fresh and alive acidity and a slightly creamy touch.

If you like Chardonnay, you will like Narince 2008, which is a welcome introduction to the Turkish Wine scene.

Doluca Karma Merlot Bogzkere

Finnair inflight drinks Red
Perhaps not quite such a good choice, the Turkish Merlot has a decidely brick colour at the rim, perhaps due to the twelve months it spent in French oak. There is plummy black fruit behind, with a good palate, but it is very strong on the nose, serious and big.

If you like your Merlots to be acidic, rustic and not mellow at all, this is the one for you, but for a wine claiming to be 'premium' in business class, there are better options.

Spanish Torres Vina Sol

Spanish nectar

This is a fine vintage. Although the Torres Wines are better known for their reds, this has a chalky melon (Ogen) and good citrus balance.

French La Roche Chardonnay

A Picture of Finnair Wine French full bodied chardonnay

Very much a classic French chardonnay from the Burgundy region, even the label gives the game away that this is wine of the old school.

A stylish and refined Chardonnay, with subtle toasty aromas and a touch of oak. The flavour is nicely balanced with creamy pineapple fruit and a nutty finish. It has a good nose, and a very strong aftertaste. This wine goes well with Finnair's noodles.

From Catalonia, in Spain.

Rich, oaky nose. Full-bodied, strong yet fairly smooth. For lamb, game and aromatic meat dishes, such as the Finnair breakfasts.
