Pal of mine travelling on a BOAC staff ticket London-Rome was upgraded to F. Replete after a sumptuous dinner he declined a dessert but settled for a few grapes from the fruit selection. The steward took a silver bowl, emptied a bottle of champers into it, dunked the grapes in it and handed them to him, then took the bowl back to the galley to (presumably) chuck away the used champagne.
