Admittedly not Air France/SwissAir, but 15 odd years ago at a stopover at far flung French location we declined the offer of wine with our lunch as we were flying.

In France, once, I was offered wine with dinner. I declined, politely, saying that I do not drink. The host incredulously replied "but this is not drinking, this is wine".
