Do drink packages include glasses of wine in the restaurants on sky princess ?

Absolutely.

Yes.  The Plus package includes all alcoholic drinks up to $15.  The Premier pkg includes all alcoholic drinks up to $20.

...and don't forget that we only pay the difference if we order a drink that is more expensive than our package "allows". So if you have the Plus package and have to have, say,  that $18 glass of wine, you'll only pay $3 + tax more. We've been on the Sky twice since November, and I find it interesting that the MDRs have a much wider selection of wines than any of the specialty restaurants.

You need to be careful with your terminology. A drinks package only relates to drinks, whereas the Plus or Premier includes the relevant drinks package,  and, perversely,  is cheaper than buying a stand alone drinks package.

The only real benefit of buying a stand alone drinks package,  is tgat it can be purchased by a single individual,  whereas the Plus and Premier packages have to be bought by both adults in the cabin.

@Bav do consider getting at least Princess Plus if you are looking into drinks packages.  @wowzz is totally right, the only reason you'd be better off with a drink package over Plus or Premier is if you are sailing with another person that is totally against or gets no utility from Plus or Premier.  Remember, that Plus and Premier cover your standard daily gratuity, so those packages, especially Plus, often does pencil out as being equal money or a good deal when you consider the number of beverages it opens up to you where you aren't nickled and dimed for every beverage that you get.

@wowzz is correct. Personally, after we do the math, the Plus is well worth it and no worrying about charging up a storm

And you need to be careful with yours also, as Princess calls their drink packages Plus and Premier Beverage Packages, and their Cruise Packages (the bundled packages with WiFi, etc) Plus and Premier also.. 

An absolutely asinine decision to name them the same thing, but there you go.

So, it's incumbent on everyone to clarify Plus or Premier drink package, or Plus or Premier Cruise Package, which is the designation by Princess. 

As the OP clearly stated drink package, without confusing the issue with Plus or Premier anything, all good.
