Jan and Dave Binskin have been stuck on the Diamond Princess for eight days, where 169 people on board have tested positive for the virus which has officially been named Covid-19. But the pair are determined to keep in good spirits and ordered a few bottles of wine directly to their cabin, where they have mostly been confined. They shared an image on Facebook of several bottles of Pinot Noir and wrote: ‘Naked Wine Club your incredible just got the first drop thank God for drones the Japanese coast guard did not know what the f***k was going on [sic]’. The pair shared another image of Mr Binskin holding a glass of wine while wearing a face mask in their cabin, captioned: ‘Happy hour drone wine’.
