Wine with Altitude

Red & White got involved with Silverjet passengers on flight to New York. Keen to get customer feedback, and learn more about the effects altitude have on wine. "When you fly your palate is affected by dehydration, low humidity and the effects of altitude," explains Liam. "What you'd normally choose on the ground won't have the same taste at 30,000 feet. Wines become less fruity so it was important to source wines that remain full of flavour at altitude."
