Brut la Française uses a unique recipe with 40% Chardonnay content. That gives it a taste of fruit and honey, and scents of vanilla, peach, and brioche. It costs about $70 per bottle, and Delta recommends pairing it with chicken or seafood dishes. The upscale drink is the perfect way for Delta to commemorate 100 years of flight. In a statement, Kristen Manion Taylor, Delta’s Senior Vice President of Inflight Service, said: “Taittinger’s reputation for excellence mirrors our own, and we’re thrilled to partner with them as we elevate your travel experience.”

As Delta approached its centennial year, this felt like the perfect time to collaborate to elevate in-flight hospitality, offering travelers a sense of refinement and celebration from the moment they step on the plane.”
