Oneworld has won the best airline alliance for the wines served in-flight by its member airlines for the ninth year in a row, at the 2017 Cellars in the Sky Awards.

The Cellars in the Sky Awards, now in their 32nd year, are run by Business Traveller, the multi-national magazine group, in association with the International Wine Challenge.

The awards were presented on 19 February at a ceremony at London’s historic Trinity House, following blind tastings of wines served on longhaul flights by 32 airlines from across the world.
