Second Day Wine

[RAM]

I have seen where you can purchase a bottle of wine for dinner, and if you do not finish the bottle (which for us is almost a certainty), they will save it for the following evening for you. At the risk of sounding like a wine snob, if the wine is not properly handled, it is going to be undrinkable the following night. Does anyone know how they handle the remainder- in our case likely half of the bottle- to ensure that it is just as good the second evening?

They do offer to recork and store it for you until the next day...that said, we ended up taking our little bits of wine back to our room and sipping it the next day (so was gone before next dinner anyway). Between two of us drinking a bottle and the rate they refill your glasses at, we had very little wine left at the end of any meal.

We had it recorked since it took us two nights to finish a bottle. No problem, they know how to handle wine far better than I do.

They have an actual sommelier staff on board, other than your regular servers. Sheldon on the Magic is cool He told me I need to try for my Level 1 certification.

I have to assume, then, that they know how to handle the wine properly. Thanks for the replies!

On our cruise, my Mom was the only one at our table drinking wine and she advised our server that likes a glass with dinner. Our server never filled up her glass during the meal and my Mom said it tasted as good on day 3 and 4 as it did on day 1.

Have to say on our first cruise with DCL we purchased the wine package. We did not realize they would recork. That first night we did not finish a bottle of champagne. Never thought twice about the bottle. Next night we had dinner and that bottle reappearred! I was very scared of it, but it was just as good as it was the first night.

My bottle of wine followed me around for the whole cruise! Tasted as good the 1st night as it did the last~
