Traveling Wine Accessories
Summer means a lot of fun and adventures! With warmer weather comes travel options and plenty of outdoor events. During warm summer months, outdoor activities may make keeping your wine chilled difficult. There is no need to fret, because there are wine products that will help you keep your bottle from breaking and your wine from getting too hot.
Taking long trips where other people are handling your luggage is never a comforting experience; especially if you have a bottle of fine wine in your suitcase. If you are planning on taking a cruise this summer or boarding an airplane with a bottle of wine, consider the wine mummy bag . This is a reusable, protective wine bag. The wine mummy is padded so that when knocked around or dropped, your wine bottle will be safe in your luggage! Your clothes will also be protected, even if in the rare occasion your wine bottle does break. The wine mummy has a zip seal at the top of the bag and will seal the liquid in and keep the wine away from your clothes.
If the trip isn’t quite as far from home but you still want to protect your wine bottle look into purchasing a wine tote. Wine totes come in a variety of styles, colors, and prints. Each wine tote holds one bottle and has elastic straps inside to hold the wine firmly in place. A corkscrew is also included with a specified spot in the carrier. With a corkscrew included, opening the bottle of when away from home or a kitchen is now an option. Drive out into the country and drink wine under the stars! Not a fan of nature? Be the fashionable guest at dinner parties and arrive with your vintage wine purse.
Wine purses are also great for late afternoon picnics. But if you are looking for a wine carrier that provides you with more room for food and wine glasses you will want to examine the insulated wine carrier. Inside the wine bags there is plenty of space for wine glasses, a bottle of wine, plates and even a snack. The wine bag has an insulated lining that will keep your bottle of wine chilled. Just make sure to refrigerate your wine the night before the picnic or hike and immediately place it in the wine carrier to keep it cool for the afternoon.
Keep your wine cool by freezing fruit and dropping it into each glass. Choose from grapes or various berries that are part of the wine flavors. Want something that won’t affect that taste of your wine; consider wine chillers.The wine chiller is a series of gel packs so that once frozen, you can wrap the sleeve around any bottle of wine. Priced under $10.00, this wine chill sleeve is reusable and is a must have for serving wine on the patio.
Keep summer exciting and don’t be afraid to bring home that expensive bottle of wine from the winery tour. Look for these various products that will keep your wine safe and cool during summer adventures and heat.
