Southwest Airlines is introducing something bubbly to its onboard beverage offerings with the addition of sparkling wine to its menus. In line with the pricing of its current premium beverage assortment, customers can now purchase sparkling wine for $5 with a credit card.

 

“From our vineyards in France and Spain, Grands Chais de France is deeply rooted in crafting quality European wines,” said Joseph Helfrich, CEO, Grands Chais de France. “We are honored that Southwest is offering our St Roc sparkling wine to their valued passengers. Santé!”

 

In addition to beer, wine, spirits and snacks, Southwest offers complimentary non-alcoholic refreshments on all flights.

 

The low-cost airline, already popular for its Transfarency prices, bags fly free program and gate-to-gate WiFi capabilities on most flights, is now winning the hearts of wine lovers. Customers can now sip sparkling wine while streaming 20 channels of live TV and on-demand movies on their personal devices.

 

Customers can enjoy the new beverage option on flights to more than 101 destinations in the United States and eight international destinations. Pending government approval, the airline will begin a new service to Grand Cayman (GCM) from Cincinnati (CVG) June 4.

 

We’ll cheers to that!
