The general rule of thumb is that aged red wines go in old shoes.  Whites and recent vintage reds should be consumed from new shoes. 😁

Don't forget Sparkling that goes in a glass slipper. Easier to see the bubbles.

We have been taking our own bottles of wine onto ship for years and paid corkage on any bottles over the first two (1 pp)

In the past our extra bottles had a label put on them to show we had paid corkage and we carried them on.  Earlier this year we took 12 bottles on our Transatlantic from Miami - they checked in the bottles near  check in and they were delivered to our room and corkage charged  to our account - no labels at all.   Everyone knew corkage had been paid.   We took bottles to the dining room, specialty restaurants and even pool bar when we were watching a movie.  No distinction between our two free bottles and corkage bottles.  They can be drunk anywhere.   It's a little awkward to have a dozen bottles along with suitcase and hand baggage, but well worth it if you have nice wines, since a $5 supermarket bottle is $30 on ship.    We have also bought bottles of wine while in a  foreign port for the day and had that charged to our account as we got on board.  Never been a problem, never taken away until end of cruise.

Whitewings2 ....... on your Transatlantic and taking 12 bottles + 2 on with embarkation, I assume that you consumed all plus more if you purchase additional at foreign ports.  The $20 corkage fee bringing  your own purchased wines onboard seems to be a cost savings with the new Princess prices of bottled wines.  Certainly considering the same on our next cruise of 10 days or more.  Thanks!
