Wine by the Glass vs. Bottle
One useful feature of the Cucina del Capitano wine menu is that it clearly separates glass and bottle pricing. Not every wine is available by the glass, and many of the more expensive selections are bottle-only.
For guests who simply want one glass with dinner, there are choices across several categories, including sparkling wine, Pinot Gris, Moscato, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, rosé, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Chianti, and other reds.
Prices shown in these photos should be treated as a snapshot of the menu at the time it was captured. Carnival can change wine availability and pricing, so check the current onboard menu or Carnival HUB app during your cruise.
