In most countries outside the USA, they dont offer free upgrades. You get what you pay for.

Bota Box Malbec is as good as any $10-20 bottle you'd find at your local higher end Liquor store, like Binny's or Total Wine. At $20 a box, with the equivalent of four bottles in volume, it's a steal.
Trader Joe's also started offering boxed wine, for $11 a box. Surprisingly good; it's not that headache-inducing Two Buck Chuck repackaged in a box, which I found surprising. For the price, hard to beat!

I've DHD on United to HKG NRT BKK SIN SYD etc etc on 777s and 744s. When I had a choice I would pick them over Delta every time. Deltas business first is garbage and so is the service, but I would take any reputable Asian carrier over both of them.
