BA crew dispose of good wine!

Remember:
Water = Poop,
Wine = Health.
Therefore, it’s better to drink wine and talk stupid,
Than to drink water and be full of sh*t

Couldnt agree more!

In wine there is wisdom,
In water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials,
Scientists have demonstrated that if we drink
1 litre of water each day,
At the end of the year we would have absorbed
More than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E.. Coli) – bacteria
Found in faeces.
In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop..

However,
We do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer
(or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor)
Because alcohol has to go through a purification process
Of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember:
Water = Poop,
Wine = Health.
Therefore, it’s better to drink wine and talk stupid,
Than to drink water and be full of sh*t

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:

I’m doing it as a public service!

This will really upset Steve Rowell, our resident wine connoisseur!

What Airlines pass off as vintage wine is usually nothing more the swill with a fancy label..it’ll probably unclog the drains :rolleyes:

What One Left is saying is true, I have seen this in action on arrival at Heathrow, its common practice, lots of wine is poured down the toilet, on the odd occasion I have been given a bottle or two to take back home with me, this was not British Airways though but another airline.

Okay, let me state quite catigorically that this article and the one in The Telegraph it refers to are complete nonsense.

When arriving in certain countries, any open wine (ie open full sized bottles in First and Club) has to be disposed of down the drain to comply with local regulations. A Telegraph reporter on board a flight saw this and decided for themself that what they were witnessing was crew wasting wine as some sort of protest. This was then reported as fact.

BA have contacted The Telegraph with a correction, but as yet this has not been printed. As has been said many times on this forum, why let the truth get in the way of a good story.
