Hi Henry,BP and days at sea have the basics, and wine service is much the same on most ships. Most cruise lines will offer wine by the glass in addition to bottles. Over a number of cruises we have had about 30% of our tablemates that will have a glass of wine. My wife doesn't drink but I enjoy an occasional glass or two of wine with dinner. On one of our first few cruises two couples traveling together ordered wine with dinner and offered us a glass. We accepted the offer and the sharing of the wine served as an axcellent ice breaker. Interestingly one of the men in that party was an aerospace engineer that I had worked with 25 years before but didn't recognize until we began discussing our personal information. Of course we reciprocated with a selected bottle at a later dinners. I've never seen a group get together to order wine and I would think that tastes and prices might make it difficult to make a selection agreeable to all.If no one else at the table accepts a glass of wine after I have made the offer I will finish the bottle the next night, and then order by the glass at later dinners. The main thing is to know that there are no expectations and to do what is comfortable for you.Peter
