Qatar Airlines - Reviews of J experience

[There'sOnlyOneJimmy]

Hi all.
I've made what the wife is referring to as a 'rookie error', and booked a J flight MEL-DOH on QR.
She's still looking down her nose at the zero alcohol policy - but before I disappear down the rabbit hole of trying to book any alternatives (as OW award seats...) I wondered what the current accepted wisdom is about the overall QR experience in J, both the flights themselves & the lounges.
Any comments?

Thanks in advance.

I didn't think there was a zero alcohol policy on Qatar Airways? Or are you talking about Qatar itself?

I think the reference is to Qatar in general, however that is not to say alcohol isn't available if you know where to look.

Admittedly it was a couple of years ago when I flew QR J but there was most definitely alcohol served on-board. I notched it up as one of my favourite J-class experiences, personally! My trip report here...Qatar Airways - Business - DPS-MAD/VIE-DPS + Pics — Trip Reports Forum | Airliners.net

Just Google Qatar business class trip report, plenty of reviews of service (which includes alcohol) available.

All the hotels you're likely to stay at serve alcohol.

Hi All - thanks for all your helpful responses.
I'm ready to call it Case Closed on this one.
By co-incidence, I ran into a friend at a party today who had flown QR a couple of weeks ago, and he was able to confirm that he was served alcohol (in Y) on QR on the MEL-DOH run.
