Perhaps - but, I don't find a larger serving of an unpleasant wine to be any less unpleasant. Unless you're simply drinking for effect.
I'll stick with my opening opinion: the SSBP wines on Viking River are considerably better than Viking Ocean. On River, it's a good investment; last month on Ocean, I learned from experience it was not a good investment because of the poor quality of the included wines.
One thing I failed to mention: When I submitted comments to Viking Customer Relations about this, they reimbursed me 50% of the $700.00 we paid - in the form of shipboard credit for the cruise I'm taking in December. That was gracious of them - they weren't obligated to do that. Nevertheless, next time (on Ocean) I will not purchase SSBP. We like good wines and with a little effort, Viking Ocean could improve the experience for those that think they are paying for good wine. Caveat Emptor.
