British Airways has become the first airline to serve English sparkling wine - it has selected Balfour Brut Rosé 2007 for first class customers.
The 2007 vintage, made from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, is being released exclusively for British Airways.
Richard Balfour-Lynn, owner of the 400-acre Hush Heath Estate in Kent, where the sparkling wine is produced, said: "BA has borne out my belief that we can produce a top quality sparkling Rosé to match up to the top French Champagne houses."
Hush Heath Estate's new winery opened on June 13.
Lynn McClelland, head of catering at BA, said: "We are proud to be the first airline to offer English sparkling wine to our customers by serving the Balfour Brut Rosé.
"By giving our British and international customers an exclusive taste of the best of Britain, we are putting English winemaking firmly on the map."
