Wine in airports is rarely good. Airports’ own brand wine has no pretentions of being good.
Airport own brand wine named after a Fokker speaks for itself.
I think I’ll stick to Champagne or Scotch in airports from now on.

I think you need to distinguish between wine from airports and wine on airlines. Wine from airports, is often at the wine in restaurants in airports – and restaurants in airports are usually run of the mill chains, stocking yellow tail and the like.
Wine in aeroplanes however, is often okay. Its a huge privelege for a winery to be selected as the winery for an airline. For instance – South African airways has Graham Beck wine, which is always great.
And Air France has some great Cote du Rhone… and last time I was on Lufthansa they had a Trimbach Gewurtztreminer…
Of course if you’re flying Delta or Jet Blue you’re in for plonk!
If its an 4 hour flight… go for the whisky though… you’re guaranteed a nap that way.
For trans-national flights, red wine is the way forward… Especially if its a trans-national flight on Air-France to Paris en route to Burgundy…
