Celebrity cruise line apparently has their own vineyards or so they say and they feature their wines on their cruises. Since I am taking one was just wondering if this is truly theirs or just a vanity type of thing where they label someone else's wines with their names? The list Russian River for their Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc and Dry Creek for the Cabernet.
Quite a few vintners will make a label for you for a certain purchase amount. Windsor Vineyards (at least they used to) send out Xmas fliers that they would vanity label amounts down to single cases. You might HOPE they are vanity labels - I can't imagine a cruise line hiring a good winemaker...

I sailed Crystal last spring and they too have their own label. I was imediately branded a wine snob for opening my own bottle even though wine for the night was a gift. I did taste the gift, and can assure you I made the right decision (even if my wife was embarrassed, but not too embarrassed to share the good stuff)

Given the amount of wine a cruise line might be able to move, they could be doing something through one of the "private label" wineries, such as Napa Valley Wine Company, or Sonoma Wine Company. More likely, though it's done through one of the larger wineries. If you really want to know, you might just call Celebrity Cruise Line and ask where they get it made.
In any event, I'd BYOB at least a few!
I plan to bring 3 days worth which is all they allow.

Isn't that 3 days worth? Per person? Anders
That's only two days worth.....

I have a carry on with wheels that holds 6-8 bottles. I could call the line and double check what you were told if you would like.
