As Wowzz says, check Google for shops that would be convenient to you and where you stay before you board. I'm not sure if you are a frequent visitor to the UK, but all shops that have an alcohol licence will generally sell all types of alcohol. It's not like some US states where liquor is sometimes sold separately. Bear in mind that the allowance per passenger is 1 litre of wine, Champagne, beer, spirit, or liqueur. If you intend on taking beer then that will equate to just two three bottles/cans, depending on the size.

If you're nut fussed about brand names, there's a Lidl on the high street. Small Tesco Express on the High Street, and there's a small food mall in the basement of John Lewis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodness me - if can afford the price of the ticket-cruise surely you can afford the price of a bottle of wine on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But every little helps! Buying a bottle ashore saves about £20, so taking a few onboard saves a fair bit of money that can be put towards speciality dining. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a fair amount of the onboard wine has the ability to be pretty cheap tasting. It’s really nice to be able to have some of your own favourite tipple to start and end an evening onboard, esp. with friends on the balcony.

Rude..Yes I can afford a bottle of wine. I wanted Gin and mixers for the cabin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
