Floral Chic Wine Bag

The Floral Chic Wine Bag is a carrier for a bottle of wine, made by Esplanda and printed with a floral design. It is merchandise, not wine, so it has no tasting notes, serving temperature or aging guidance of its own. What matters is how it works with the bottle inside. Bags like this are usually sized for a standard 750 ml bottle, and many fit a magnum or a bottle with a wide base more tightly. Check the dimensions and material on the product page before buying if you plan to carry anything larger. The floral print means it works as gift wrapping as well as a carrier. You can hand over a bottle without wrapping paper, and the bag can be reused afterward. Some practical points apply to any bag of this kind. If you are bringing a chilled white, rosé or sparkling wine, chill the bottle first, because a fabric or paper bag gives little insulation and will not keep a bottle cold for long. Carry the bottle upright and support the base when it is full, since the handles bear the weight at the top. A red that needs decanting or a sparkling wine that has been shaken should be given time to settle after transport, whatever bag it travels in.
