jeno Posted December 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2018 We have heard about the extremely high liquor and wine prices on Cunard. Do any of you have any wines you enjoy from the Cunard Wine List to recommend that seem to be a comparatively good value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted December 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 18, 2018 What is it that they say -- the second cheapest wine on any wine list has the highest markup? People tend to aim low but they don't want to appear cheap, so they be attracted to a cheap wine but not the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted December 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I should keep better notes of what I buy onboard. You do know that you can bring wine aboard at embarkation or any port, right? Even with $20 or $25 in corkage you can get better value, particularly in the retail range over $40. Most restaurants have a wine markup similar to Cunard's. IMO the markup on the higher end isn't as severe as the lower end but I don't like paying $100+ for wine at dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted December 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2018 That's a really difficult question to answer as it really depends on what you like to drink. What would you drink at home or out at a restaurant ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you drink at home or out at a restaurant ? If drinking white, I usually drink a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Champagne or Prosecco. If drinking red, full body- dry red. Do not care for sweet wines. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted December 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 18, 2018 We like the Land Made Sauvignon Blanc (370) or the Cloudy Bay (369) if you want to spend a bit more. I like the Muscadet (103) as well. Cunard_Wine_list.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairgarth Posted December 18, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 18, 2018 We enjoyed the Nero d'Avola at $33.00. Better than some of the more expensive wines so we had it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted December 18, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hattie, your wine list link doesn't work for me (in the US). Is it a valid link? Turns out that I have it (from another thread, probably), so it's not an emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underwatr Posted December 18, 2018 #14 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) That one works. Yours is stored at cruisecritic.co.uk while the other one is at cruisecritic.com. Looks like my cruisecritic.com login doesn't automatically let me into cruisecritic.co.uk Edited December 18, 2018 by Underwatr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant1151 Posted December 18, 2018 #15 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The Black Shiraz is rather nice. Also check out the bin ends not necessarily cheaper but not on the list and some fine wines in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
