Qantas will refine its wine list with the help of Neil Perry's award-winning restaurant group Rockpool.
The airline, the third-largest buyer of wine in Australia, will be guided by 16 sommeliers and mixologists from the famous chef's restaurants.
Qantas International chief executive Gareth Evans said Rockpool's experts will hand-pick wine, champagne, spirits and cocktails to offer domestic and international passengers.
Qantas staff will be trained to recommend the perfect drop to customers, he said.
Mr Perry, who advises Qantas on its food menus, said Rockpool has some of Australia's most awarded sommeliers and he was excited about working more closely with the airline.
Qantas head of customer strategy Phillip Capps said both the airline and Rockpool were strong promoters of the local wine industry, investing a combined $23 million a year.
"The knowledge of Rockpool sommeliers is second-to-none," he said.
"That knowledge will now extend to Qantas."
