Virgin Voyages has introduced a clever way for travelers to make the most of any remaining Sailor Loot or Bar Tab at the end of their sailing — a wine sales event known as Wine Not Take Me Home. Sometimes listed as Wine Not Bring Me Home, this event offers the chance to purchase bottles from Virgin Voyages’ award-winning wine collection to take home.

When and Where

This relaxed event usually takes place at 7pm on the last night of the voyage in the Grounds Club on Deck 7. It’s a non-ticketed gathering, so sailors can simply drop by and explore the offerings at their leisure.

What to Expect

Led by Virgin’s sommelier team, Wine Not Take Me Home showcases hand-selected bottles from the cruise line’s Wine Spectator awarded wine list. It’s an ideal opportunity for those who may have unused Bar Tab or Sailor Loot and want to bring something home that extends the cruise experience.

Purchases made during the event are conveniently delivered to your cabin on the final night, making the process easy and seamless.

Note: The ability to use Bar Tab for this event may be changed at any time. 

Standout Bottles

The selection may vary, but some standout bottles featured on recent menus include:

  • Krug Brut Champagne
  • Moët & Chandon Ice Rosé
  • Chardonnay from Duckhorn or Newton Unfiltered
  • Cabernet Sauvignon from Opus One or Shafer One Point Five
  • Pinot Noir from Flowers Winery or Louis Jadot
  • Ornellaia, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia
  • Amarone della Valpolicella, Bertani

    I had a bar tab with $110 left over and ordered a bottle of Moët to be sent to our cabin an hour before our departure. I wrapped it up and give it to our Rock Star amazing Agent, that took such great care of us, with a short thank you note. We also left a gratuity to thank her as well. It was a long voyage and out of the 10 nights I was sick for three day with Norovirus. She made sure I had everything I needed to get better. I did not know of this program, I had to hide the fact the bottle was not for me. Best use of a bar tab ever!

    When did this start as I couldn’t use all my bar tab and tried to purchase a bottle of champagne but the bar tender said he had to open it. I sailed from Athens on 4th May

      This is a specific event held on the last night, if you order at a Bar they have to open the bottle where as this is different and delivered to your cabin, it was on that sailing too 🙂
