Chateau Petrus is one of the world's most consistently lauded – and expensive – wines. The Bordeaux region vineyard only produces around 3000 bottles a year, and half of those are consumed in France. If you're keen to try this legendary wine on a cruise, though, you can always phone your Cunard butler and ask him to deliver a bottle to your cabin, though US$3200 ($4368) (plus a 15 per cent service charge) will be added to your on-board account.
