Wine List Question

[Woobstr112G]

I was curious if the wine lists in the MDR vary from ship to ship. I'm trying to locate a copy of a list from the Ruby. Last October when we sailed I had a bottle of the most amayzing red wine I've ever had. It ws an AU wine by Wolf Blass (don't remember the exact type) and the cost was $40.00. I've looked around locally and have only found one WB wine that definetely wasn't the one I had on the ship. Any help would be greatly appreciated.....:):):)

The Wine lists are the same on all ships.. The wine you are probably thinking of is the Wolf Blass Presidents Selection Shiraz

Hi everyone,

 

We are doing our first cruise in March 2011 on Sea Princess, I was wondering, I like wine with my evening meal but DH prefers a beer with his, what happens if I purchase a bottle of wine, and it's not all drunk, which I know it wouldn't be, can it be put aside for the next evening, as some hotels do, or can I purchase a glass of any of the wines available?

 

Sorry, I know this sounds a silly question, but don't want to look stupid when we board the ship.

 

Thanks for any help

It is not a problem at all. They will label your bottle with the cabin number. All you need do is remember which dining room you were in when you drank your wine so they can find it easier if you change dining rooms.

Only time a question is stupid is when it is not asked :)

 

Yours isn't anywhere near silly either.......We had a bottle that we couldn't finish and they took it away and labeled it. We got it the next night no problem :)

[dexter483]

I've never had the experience of having a bottle wine that wasn't finished at diner.. "never leave a wounded soldier"

[desiro]

probably check at home in the section that is in the 8.99 - 11.99 price range and you'll find your "40.00 bottle" from the cruise. I drink the Rosemount Chard here at home and it's only 7.99 per bottle and it's $30 on the ship. The Chilean Chard that they have on board -Caliterra - I can get here for 5.99 per bottle and it's about 30 on board too. I'm actually fine with those prices when I'm on vacation - but glad that they are more affordable once back here on land! Cheers!

The Wolf Blass Presidents Selection Shiraz goes for around $20 here in California so the mark up isn't that bad. I have found that the lower priced wines have a higher markup than the higher priced ones.

Hi Billet, Thanks for your reply. I did hope that was what happened, otherwise I'd probably be sticking to water for 2 weeks and didn't really fancy that!!!! LOL

Hi Qunicytoo, Thanks for making me feel a lot easier, I feel it's better to know these little things beforehand than feel I had to finish a whole bottle of wine at the table, I know it's not usually hard for us Scots to drink alcohol, but I'm afraid I'm one of the exceptions....

If you don't drink the whole bottle at one sitting you will probably remember where you drank it. If you do drink the whole bottle at one sitting hopefully your husband will carry you out.

I can just imagine........... firemans lift going out the dining room, now that would be a talking point for the rest of the cruise. Doesn't bear thinking about......lol

The Wolf Blass Label has some beautiful wines in particular their Platinum, Black and Grey labels. The Presidential Selection Shiraz is marketed for the US and UK markets but to due the state of the economy was made available in AUS for about $US13 a bottle, a little bit more than the Yellow label. If you want the best Wolf Blass Shiraz then it is the Platinum, ($US120 -$US180 :eek:) and the Grey Label, ($US35 - $US65). The grey is great and I have heard the Platinum is superb but it is a bit ‘rich’ for me. :( I have had the Black label and that is sublime, :) it is a Cabernet/Shiraz blend and is about $US100 now, it used to be a bit better priced when I used to drink it. :(

All in all Wolf Blass has some great drinkable wines both red and white.

 

Happy cruising (and drinking), :D
