Air France still serves pilots wine with their meal.

Next contract, ACPA is going to take a vote, then put a requirement for wine in with every HD meal on the flight. After all. red wine is proven medically to be good for you, and the vote will pass. ACPA will take the postion before the Aviation Tribunal and the Courts that it is in the Contract so it is legal; can't wait!
