United Airlines Adds Aperture Cellars Wine to Polaris Menu
United Airlines has elevated its in-flight wine program with the addition of Aperture Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon to the menu in its newly refreshed Polaris business class cabins. The partnership is part of United’s broader initiative to enhance the premium travel experience through curated culinary offerings and luxury beverage selections.
Aperture Cellars, founded in 2009 by renowned winemaker Jesse Katz, is celebrated for its elegant Bordeaux-style wines sourced from top vineyards across Sonoma and other California wine regions. The collaboration brings one of California’s most respected boutique wineries to United’s long-haul international travelers, reinforcing the airline’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
“We’re thrilled to bring Aperture’s exceptional wines to United’s passengers,” said Katz, who has a personal connection to the airline from his early years of traveling with his father. “It’s an honor to share the story of our wines with guests who appreciate the art of winemaking and the journey behind every bottle.”
United’s decision to feature Aperture Cellars reflects its ongoing investment in its Polaris business class product, which includes upgraded seats, refined dining options, and expanded amenity kits. The airline has been steadily redefining its premium cabin experience, focusing on comfort, personalization, and high-end service that rivals international competitors.
The new Polaris wine selection will be available on select international routes beginning this fall, complementing United’s seasonal dining menus curated by acclaimed chefs. Passengers can expect the Cabernet Sauvignon to be paired with rich entrées designed to showcase the wine’s depth and balance.
By partnering with boutique vineyards like Aperture Cellars, United aims to blend luxury with authenticity—offering travelers not just a flight, but a sensory journey rooted in craftsmanship, taste, and experience.
