Air New Zealand Business Class Menu

I haven't been on Air New Zealand Business Class for a while - but below (right down below!) is their latest menu. I think I'd go for the snapper.

They also serve up New Zealand wines and 42 Below cocktails (cocktails available on long-haul flights only).

Air New Zealand has a proud tradition - and no other Airline offers food as good (in my opinion).

And no wonder look at the caliber of chef's!

Wine Consultants
Our Wine Consultants.
Selecting wines for drinking in-flight takes special care as there are unique conditions to consider. The low humidity and high altitude affect our palate, causing the tannin and astringency of wine to taste more pronounced. Our panel of judges takes all that into account when selecting wines for Air New Zealand. Twice a year, the judges conduct blind wine tastings to select the perfect wines for each class on Air New Zealand. Currently on our panel of judges:

Jim Harre, International Wine Show Judge
Jim comes from a family that is rich in winemaking history and is an international wine judge. Jim and his wife Wendy own and operate the Gates Country Lodge in North Canterbury.

John Belsham, Foxes Island Wines
Winemaker and owner of Foxes Island Wines, John Belsham began judging wines at competition in 1988. He is now Chairman of the annual Air New Zealand Wine Awards, New Zealand's most prestigious wine event.

Kate Radburnd, C J Pask Winery
Kate is Managing Director and Winemaker at C J Pask Winery and has been winemaking in New Zealand for 25 years. Kate is a senior wine judge and her experience is extensive, she was appointed by Air New Zealand as a wine consultant in 2005.
