CruisinCorey2525 Posted September 28, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Searching didn't bring anything up. For those who have been on Celebrity recently, or are familiar with the current wine offerings, are there any that stand out? I prefer red, but white is okay. Just seeing what is worth getting, so I don't either pour a glass out, or drink something that is vinegar. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinsCruise Posted September 28, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2021 We were on the 9/17 sailing of the Equinox and I was disappointed with the selection of wines if you weren't in a dining venue. Since Cellar Masters is no longer there, I was told that there is no other place to get a premium wine during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted September 28, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2021 We really like Decoy Cabernet it’s a very nice dry red wine. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ken the cruiser Posted September 28, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The German Riesling Cabernet I had on the Edge by way of my PBP during our B3B was great and that's pretty much all I drank unless I bought a wine pairing at either the Chef's Table (for $60 pp) or at Le Petit Chef (for $15 pp). But, then, I enjoy German wines that don't have that over-powering acidic taste like many of the Italian, French and California wines seem to have. But that's just me.

lhsail Posted September 28, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Decoy Cab. There was also a very good Merlot as well as a Zinfandel. I can’t remember the name of either right now, but they were both close to the $15 limit. As for white, Mer Soliel Chardonnay, but we noted some bottle variation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josie201 Posted September 28, 2021 #9 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Also as an FYI, though not my favourite bar you may find the Passport Bar during the day has a fairly good selection of wines. Or the Ensemble Lounge (though this one used to only open at about 5 pm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted September 28, 2021 #11 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Decoy Cabernet is also normally in suite lounge , on my wife birthday July 4th, the concierge and his staff gave her flowers a cake and a bottle of decoy Cabernet (it helped that we were in penthouse) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to make the rounds if you’re looking for something in particular on the higher end of the Premium package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a white wine drinker and I have always struggled finding a wine I like with the premium package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naplesgolfer Posted September 28, 2021 #15 Share Posted September 28, 2021 On the Edge this fall the best Red wine by the glass was Opulence Cabernet. I hope they have it on my up coming Nov. Equinox sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cellars had a few scotch’s and wines above the drink package limit , which we would order and just pay the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zitsky Posted September 29, 2021 #20 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I'm on the premium package and will drink mostly in Blu. I drink almost anything. Whatever they have, I hope it's better than the nasty $10 Spanish Viognier I tried to drink at home. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity has great bartenders on all there ships and I will drink to that 😁. Great thing about the drink package is you can experiment, if you don’t like it order something else.

jelayne Posted September 29, 2021 #22 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I like the Decoy and the Conundrum. If you like Merlot the Emmolo is great but there is a up charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sommelier I spoke with didn't think any of the bars had premium choices but I should have checked for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
