Premium beverage package

[Mkdvmz]

I just saw a copy of a Main  Dining Room menu posted that had wine pairings with several menu offerings. Are any of those wines available with the premium beverage package? May I order a glass of one of the wines offered as part of my package

No. As previously stated, the beverage packages (both of them) are wines-by-the-glass from the same menu of mostly mediocre offerings.

If  the wine is on the  Wine menu by the glass then it is included

I think they are just trying  to show people what wine will go with that particular dish

I looked at those menus & the drink menu from Jan posting & they are on on the wine by the glass list  except one dessert wine

It may be  a new addition as the wine will change  subject to supplies

New bar  menus posted in January

I'm not sure what's going on with the wines by the glass offerings but the white wines on my August cruise were awful.  I'm not a wine expert by any means but I tried a couple of them and couldn't drink it. I prefer white over red. After 3 strikes on the white wine list, I switched to a red and found it to be drinkable. The wine list may have changed somewhat from 2022, I can't recall. If this list is what is going to be offered when they switch to SM, I won't be drinking much.  As FF said, the offerings are "mediocre".

After more than 400 days on O ships, I repeat: Other than an occasional passable 1 or 2 selections, the wine-by-the-glass is poor to mediocre at best.

Perhaps, just perhaps, with some mandatory wine costs now being imposed on all new bookings O will listen and improve their selection.

 

Or, as the Aussies would say……” tell ‘im he’s dreamin’ mate.”

Well, I certainly intend to bring my own wines on board, and will happily pay the corkage fee. But one or two wines, looked interesting and maybe worth a try
