WrigleyGirl90 Posted June 10, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hello, I will be traveling on the Whisper soon from Barcelona to Lisbon and was wondering how their complimentary wine list stands? Were most happy with the included wines or will I feel the need to upgrade to which I'm sure that have wines to buy! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silver Spectre Posted June 10, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Had no problem with the included wines on the back end of the World Cruise. Both whites and reds were very acceptable. What are you looking for specifically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCCruiser57 Posted June 10, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) They serve two different champagnes - Pommery and Monopole. We had some nice reds, to include pinot noirs, merlots, cabs, cote'd rhones etc. I think one red was Five (?) Rivers pinot noir, Pipoli red. Never could get a list and there is no way to remember them all without taking pictures or writing them down. Didn't do either. SS's included wines are by far heads and shoulders above the other luxury lines - Crystal, Regent, and certainly Seabourn.

Rare Silver Spectre Posted June 10, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2019 The is a nice Cab Sav from Australia - the Grand Barossa. A couple of Aussie Shiraz’s, the Billi Billi is the lesser of the two. There is also a nice South American Syrah, Chilean I think, a decent South American Malbec, and the ubiquitous French Cote de Rhône. There are loads of others.

worldtraveller99 Posted June 11, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2019 If there is no list, how do you find out the full extent of what is available please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCCruiser57 Posted June 11, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 11, 2019 You have to talk with the sommeliers and each day (lunch and dinner) they offer different wines of the day. If you don't like'prefer the offering, they will get you anything you like. Also, SS will purchase local wines when in a region, i.e., Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, etc. Counting the champagnes and roses (generally 2) they probably have 40 or more different complimentary wines.

DCCruiser57 Posted June 17, 2019 #14 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I guess MBP really didn’t get a list since he/she did not post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
