1 PM A Bottle Of
2014 Seghesio Old Vine Zinfandel
Purchased From Vines Wine Bar

This was further evidence that wine by the bottle is much better than the same wine by the glass. We purchased from Vines Wine Bar a bottle of 2014 Seghesio Old Vine Zinfandel from Sonoma County, California, 14.8% ABV. The cost of the bottle was $57 less our 25% Drinks Package discount which came to $35.25. They charge $15 by the glass for this wine. Since the Drinks Package only covers the first $12 for each glass of wine, we would have had to pay $3 extra for each glass. A bottle contains 4-1/2 glasses of wine, so by the glass, we would have had to pay an extra $13. Thus, we are really only paying an extra $22.50 to buy it by the bottle ($35.25 - $13 = $22.50). It was well worth the extra cost as this wine tasted much better by the bottle than by the glass!

When purchasing this wine by the glass, we only gave it a "Good" rating. We knew there was something wrong. We like this wine so much that we used to have two cases of it at our home before we drank it all, and we rated it between "Very Good" and "Excellent". I really think the reason that we could only give it a "Good" rating when buying it by the glass on the ship is because these bottles of wine may remain open for days before they are finished. I have no idea how often passengers order glasses of each type of wine available by the glass. Thus, a bottle might remain open for days before it is empty and they open a fresh bottle. The flavor of wine tends to go south pretty fast once it has been opened and definitely doesn't taste the same once it has been sitting around open for a day or two or more, even if a cork is put back in.
