United Airlines has expanded its economy cabin wine offerings with the addition of a new rosé and exclusive brut bubbles from women-owned brands, Just Enough Wines and Maker Wine, starting Tuesday last.
The airline has served over 20m glasses of wine in 2024, and the new offerings will complement existing choices, moving to a more sustainable canned wine format to reduce single-use plastic consumption.
United’s new economy wine list includes four varietals available in 250-milliliter cans, providing passengers with a premium experience and a convenient option for in-flight consumption at $12 per can.
This update is part of a broader overhaul of United’s food and beverage offerings, aimed at enhancing the overall passenger experience, and includes more than 60 new dishes and partnerships with notable premium brands.
