Why does wine on a plane taste blah? It's about the atmosphere in that cabin.

Years ago, I had a discussion with the wine consultant/buyer for a major airline, and he told me all about the challenges of his job.

Before you start to resent him, let me just assure you that he professed to being ensconced precisely in his dream job, a position he had wanted since he was a young man. He was working not only in the exact role he had wanted to, but also for the exact airline. Eureka! And good for him. As for those "challenges," he wasn't complaining about them - only explaining them -
