Anne Krebiehl is one of only 421 people in the world to hold the title of Master of Wine, a qualification recognized as the highest certification in the world of oenology. With a track record of excellence that includes awards as a writer and editor, as well as a well-established experience as an internationally renowned judge, Ms. Krebiehl will be tasked with selecting and curating a wine list that reflects the innovation, quality and distinctive taste of Qatar Airways, recently crowned Best Airline in the World by Skytrax 2024.

 

 

As Master of Wine, Anne Krebiehl will be responsible for the selection of wines for First and Business Class, focusing on refined labels that satisfy the most demanding palates. Her experience will allow her to consider the unique factors that affect taste during the flight, such as low humidity and cabin pressure, ensuring that every bottle on board retains its maximum flavor potential. In addition, it will work with wineries to create exclusive blends dedicated to Economy Class, designed to ensure optimal tasting at 40,000 feet of altitude, using innovative and sustainable packaging solutions.

 

 

In addition to the wine selection, Anne Krebiehl will work closely with Qatar Airways' culinary team to create perfect pairings with the seasonal menus served on board. The goal is to offer a luxury gastronomic experience that combines authentic flavors and wines of the highest quality.

In line with its philosophy of innovation and quality, Qatar Airways has recently introduced new menus in Europe, designed for the winter months. These menus are distinguished by their use of fresh, seasonal ingredients, such as Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, pears, and cranberries. The menus, updated every quarter, offer frequent flyers a continuous discovery of authentic and refined flavors.
