Seadreams27 Posted June 28, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Im' hoping someone out there can tell me whether there is a Dan Murgphy's or a bottle shop close in to Darling harbour (as in walking distance) that sells perservative free wine. The ships don't carry any and I have been granted permission to take some on board (at a fee of course) but I need to get them from somewhere as close to the Wharf as I can so I won't be lugging them all over town:D The weight on the plane will be a problem so I can't bring any with me from home:( Any suggestions will be much appreciated:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugbypopsie Posted June 28, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I did a search and could not find Dan Murphy's in Darling Harbour..there is a bottle shop in the Docks Hotel and a wine store within the Darling Harbour complex possibly called Hurricanes perhaps you can phone them and enquire if the carry the wine you need. Failing that throw something out of the bag...we always pack too much anyway LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davethescot Posted June 28, 2011 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2011 There is a bottle shop on lime street in darling harbor but it's quite small. If you phone them before they may be able to order in for you. They are very friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other side is up the hill to King and George Sts, Coles Express have a liquourland outlet, although I can't speak for what they carry in their range.

Megagirl Posted June 28, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hi Lorrae We can buy it for you and bring it down with us. We will be travelling to Sydney by car, either ours or being driven by our son and daughter in law. If you can let me know what you would like, we can buy it for you and, after sampling it;);), will bring it with us to the ship. Jenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadreams27 Posted June 29, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi Jenny, I just might have to take you up on that offer :) And the sampling while we wait to board:p:D I will find out names and so on and get in contact with you, thanks so much for your generous offer. Can't imagine a cruise with no wine:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadreams27 Posted July 4, 2011 Author #8 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I rang p&o and explained that I have an intolerance to sulphite (sp) in wine and asked if they carried any preservative free wine on the ship. The answer came back that no they don't but I can take my own, under conditions, ie..I will pay a fee per bottle..I have to hand the bottles in to reception on arrival.. and they will be available to me at only one of the bars..so I can't take bottles back to my room. I know its sounds like a lot for the sake of some wine but I like my glass of red and I can only drink the the preservative free or I will be very ill..took a long time to work out what it was that was making me feel so ill after just a glass or two ..now I can finally enjoy it again:D I know they are making money for me to do this but it would probably cost me about the same per glass as what is available on the ship. I;m just pleased to be allowed to do this:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadreams27 Posted July 4, 2011 Author #10 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Thanks for the nudge.:) I had been thinking I might have to get written confirmation...you have just made me think that that I definately will now..Could you imagine getting ready to sail and having bottles taken away:eek::( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
