Global Traveler announces the return of the 18th annual Wines on the Wing in 2024.
YARDLEY, Pa., Oct. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global Traveler, the only AAM-audited magazine for business and luxury travelers, announces the return of the 18th annual Wines on the Wing, slated for April 2024. The highly anticipated competition will be held in New York City.
Wines on the Wing sees the best of the best in airline wines come together. Airlines are required to submit five different wines — two red wines, two white wines and one sparkling wine/Champagne — to be eligible for the overall Best International First-Class Wines on the Wing award or Best International Business-Class Wines on the Wing award.
"We are seeing overwhelming support for the return of the Wines on the Wing and this signifies that the world's airlines are back to providing the best possible service to their top passengers," said Francis X. Gallagher, publisher and CEO, FXExpress Publications, Inc., parent company of Global Traveler.
Global Traveler is the only U.S.-based publication to conduct such a survey in the United States.
Assessed by highly experienced sommeliers, next year's event sees Tom Gannon lead the blind judging.
Gannon, a New York City native, holds the Advanced Certificate from the Court of Master Sommeliers and is a trustee of Nashville's Whisky House. He also is a member of the Albany Chapter of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, as well as co-founded and is currently a partner of whiskey brand Harlem Standard.
In 2001, Gannon successfully completed wine classes through the American Sommelier Association at Windows on the World. His achievements saw him land his first sommelier job at Rothmann's Steakhouse in midtown Manhattan in early 2002. Gannon served as sommelier for nine years before moving to work for the Spire Collection, a luxury portfolio of Jackson Family Wines, in 2011.
