oduphd Posted April 17, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I was just wondering if anyone has a current (2009) wine list for the HAL ships they would be willing to post. I found one from early last year but I am assuming that the list is not the same from year to year. I'm just trying to decide whether or not wine we like are on the list or if I need to bring some wine on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjcox9 Posted April 18, 2009 #6 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Wow, it's so nice to see regional wines on HAL. We've long mentioned that in our comments. And a real surprise to see so many Uurguayan wine. Nice surprise. Thanks for the info. It'll be interesting to see what they have available on our upcoming Rotterdam cruise.
