The article discusses a couple's confusion over obtaining the last glasses of champagne on a flight following their honeymoon. Despite their misunderstanding of the flight attendant's message, it's noted that in commercial settings like airplanes, etiquette differs from social rules; thus, they did not breach etiquette by taking the last of the champagne. Additionally, the response from the flight attendant was criticized as poor service, emphasizing that the couple's actions were defensible in this context.
The rule you refer to is a social rule, as distinct from a business rule. On a commercial flight, you would not defer to strangers several rows back.
In your case, you did no wrong. It seems worth mentioning that the flight attendant blaming you for the lack of champagne was hardly first-class treatment.
