You should drink that wine 15 years ago. Only the very best white wines with optimal storage will survive with quality for more then a decade. Save that bottle now as is, at this point I would never open it. It is a wonderful memento to be cherished, held and talked about. Cheers!!!

Sorry, Tony that wine is probably past its prime especially if it was not cellared. Drink it now. My wife likes Australian Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc and if it is a very special occasion Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc. My go-to wine this year is Italian Fantini Sangiovese. BTW Oceania allows up to 6 - 750ml per room. You can replenish it at each port if needed. I believe that it is also $15 corkage in the restaurants. Cheers.

We were married in 1990. In 1991 we purchased 2 bottles of 1990 German wine (we met in Germany), on our 25th (Silver) we opened 1 bottle while on the Carnival Paradise, it was still very good. On our 50th, (Gold) 20 years from soon, we will open the 2nd bottle. These were/are our milestones, you and Jenny have to choose your own, whenever you do open that bottle of wine, just enjoy it together.

99% chance you'll regret opening the wine bottle, unless you open it fully expecting to dump it and clean/save the bottle.. 95% chance the cork will break into pieces, crumbs, or dust. 95% chance it will taste undrinkable, even after you run it through a coffee filter to get rid of cork-dust bits. I'd just keep it bottled until the cork smells bad or you can smell the wine through the cork. Then dump it out and keep the bottle. Even some great red wines that can last 50 years, are gross after 15 years of average storage conditions. It takes really careful cellaring and monitoring of wine to keep it very long and still taste good. If you get 12 identical bottles and open one every 2 years, you can drink it all up at the first sign of it going downhill. And it's not as if any consumer-level white wine ages well and reaches a peak. It peaked when it was put in the bottle. Plan B would be to keep it preserved as-is for other reasons. Like that if you ever get divorced, pretend it has great sentimental value to you, but eventually let her "win" by her getting the bottle and you getting the 86 inch TV. Or if you die, she can cry that you never got to drink it together, and she'll tell everyone how perfect a guy you were.

Some tips: Red wine doesn’t require refrigeration. Twist caps slightly more expensive than cork, but better to avoid bringing a corkscrew. Royal Caribbean might not allow corkscrews in checked luggage or carryon, but they have attendants who may have them on-board. Bring your own wine cooler insulated cups, which have caps to prevent spilling. Pour wine into cups and bring to Main Dining room to prevent corkage fee.
