Gift Bag Hip Hip Hooray

The Hip Hip Hooray gift bag is an Esplanda-branded piece of packaging, not a beverage, so there are no tasting notes, serving temperatures or cocktail pairings to give. Its job is to carry and present a gift, and the name points to celebratory occasions such as birthdays, promotions, graduations and congratulations. The product details don't list the bag's dimensions, material or print design, so check the product photos before you buy. Bags in this category usually have rope or ribbon handles and a flat base, and they're sized for either a single bottle or a small bundle of items. If you plan to put a wine or spirits bottle inside, compare the bag's height and width with the bottle you have in mind. A standard 750 ml wine bottle is around 30 cm tall, and a bottle in a gift box or a magnum needs a wider opening. For a polished result, wrap the bottle in tissue paper first, stand it upright against the back of the bag, and slip a card in the front. A bottle with a tall neck looks best with the tissue left slightly open at the top.
