My mistake, we wish that O’s champagne was at least as good as Chandon. 🥂

Oceania has never provided only Champagne as its sparkling wine. It has actually featured a couple good American bubblies over the years.

 

Since Chandon is the subject, they make sparkling wine in Champagne, California, and in Australia. If you similarly find the U. S. version lacking, then forget the version from Oz!! 🤮

Tattinger, please.

The 2021 Champagne crop was about 30% of normal. Worldwide shortage of Champagne at most any price. Shipping issue, empty bottle supply issues, on and on. O won’t be serving up Tatt anytime soon.

It’s not a favorite, Chandon, Napa Valley…  🍾 We exchange for a red or white wine. 🙂

Is that  wine ?

I thought  the Concierge & above got Champagne

Chandon is a champagne. Don’t know who receives a bottle of champagne, we exchange our champagne for wine.

Interesting. I was in Truckee and a good restaurant charged $45 for a half bottle of Tattinger.  I also got the same price on Celebrity last year where full bottles were  $110.  Go figure. Any French Champagne might do.

I have liked Chandon but haven't had any recently.

How are the wines that O exchanges for the bubbly?

I was riddling over that, racking my brain, thanks for a dosage of reality. 😉

The shortage left me riddling over why, I was racking my brain trying to figure it out.  Thanks for the dosage of reality. 😉

Our our cruise this year we received Monopole in the stateroom -- the red or white substitutions were the cheapest red/white offered by the glass in the bars.

It could have been the Oceania Club branded wine. OOF.
