With reference to the French attachment to wine, once when flying as a guest aboard an Atlantique on a maritime patrol sortie a few years ago I opened my baggie to find a small bottle of wine included. Wandering up to the flight deck I was even more astounded to see that even the pilots had wine included in their bag meals I was greeted with very puzzled expressions when I suggested that drinking might not be compatible with flying.........
Mind you, even though the quality of their on board catering was excellent, it wasn't quite the same as the steaks, beefburgers etc, and gallons of tea, that came flowing freely out of the galley on our own trusty jet MPA.
