Wine List

 The vine is first thought to have been cultivated between 6000–4000 BC by late Palaeolithic or Early Neolithic peoples in western Asia.  We learn from the Psalmist that “wine maketh glad the heart of man”.

Indeed, the fruit of the vine has carried great symbolism through the centuries.

Today the cultivated grape – Vitis vinifera – is appreciated worldwide. The rediscovery of cork and the beneficial effect of maturing wine in bottle have allowed its potential to be realised.

This list reflects the global diversity of wine.  Here is an opportunity to enjoy wine from many different backgrounds in terms of climate, geology and grape variety with the methods of production and ageing still considered an alchemy between art and science.

I hope these wines will enhance your enjoyment of the cruise and that, along with Shakespeare, you find “a marvellous searching wine”.
