American Airlines wants to sell you stockpiled wine it couldn't offload to passengers during the pandemic Posted By Nina Rangel on Wed, Jan 27, 2021 at 1:32 PM click image Pexels / Andrea Piacquadio Airlines are feeling the hurt from the decline in travel during the pandemic. And now, one has pivoted to peddling its excess wine directly to grounded consumers. American Airlines this week launched a new program called Flagship Cellars that will give customers a chance to buy its leftover vino by the bottle or via a monthly subscription plan and have it delivered to their homes. The stockpiled wine is a result of folks traveling less, but also playing a part are airline-specific policies that ban alcohol service in its cabins to help thwart the spread of COVID-19.
