(Decanter) - British Airways is to serve Bolney Wine Estate Blanc de Blancs 2013 as its guest sparkling wine in First Class. 

It is the first English sparkling white wine to be served on the airline.

British Airways already serves a still wine from Bolney Estate; the airline first introduced the Pinot Gris to the wine list in 2015.

‘We are delighted to be adding Bolney Wine Estate’s Vintage Blanc de Blancs as our guest Sparkling Wine,’ said Colin Talbot, British Airways’ head of catering.

‘This is the first time we have offered an English Sparkling white wine on board and we think our customers are going to love it.’
