Welcome to Hourglass of Wine! We are Jacqueline and Andrea.
Jacqueline is an American from California who moved to Italy to work as a chef, and Andrea is an Italian legal professional with a passion for wine. We are lucky enough to live in Alba, the capital of the beautiful Langhe, a true wine lover’s paradise. We are certified Sommeliers here in Italy with AIS (Associazione Italiana Sommelier) and also with WSET 3. But we are always thirsty for knowledge about wine…and for wine itself! We want to fill our glasses with wine education, wine producing countries, wine regions, all the way down to individual bottles… all while bringing our YouTube community along with us sipping and learning.
We’ll see you with the next glass… Hourglass of Wine!

Great video. Thank you
The full wine list and bar menus are available online. I go onboard with a shortlist of wines. We do take a drinks package. At lunch and during dancing every evening we settle for light dry rosé or white. At dinner we have 7 Bordeaux reds or Burgundy whites split over 14 days (our tastes formed by living in France). We save on them with the package. Add in pre dinner drinks, nightcaps, pudding wine, barista coffee and bottled water and we save about 30%. Sommeliers are great although I know what we're drinking, no advice is needed. With the recent change to packages our savings will probably drop to around 23%. One bottle per person has never been enforced. Most Cunard passengers wouldn't bring vast quantities to get drunk on. Perhaps something for pre dinner in cabin or quality, like yours to pay corkage on. We only eat and drink in lounges and restaurants.
Thank you for the video! As a fan of both wine and Queen Mary 2 this video was very helpful
