Lace Applique Wine Bag

The Lace Applique Wine Bag is a gift bag for a single wine bottle, made by Esplanda. It is not a wine, so there are no grape, tasting or vintage details to describe. The name points to lace appliqué trim, which is a decorative layer sewn onto the surface of the fabric. This kind of detail usually gives a bag a dressed-up look suited to gifting. Bags in this style are generally cut for a standard 750 ml bottle. Check the listed dimensions before pairing it with a magnum, a bottle with a wide base, or a sparkling bottle, which tends to be heavier and thicker. Slide the bottle in neck-first and keep it upright when carrying it, since a decorative bag is rarely built to bear weight at the seams the way a structured carrier is. Use the bag for presenting a bottle, not for storing one. Wine should still be kept in a cool, dark place and chilled or decanted as the wine itself calls for, so take it out of the bag before serving. If the bag is fabric, spot-cleaning and storing it flat will help the lace detail keep its shape. Check the product listing for the fabric and care information, because those are not given here.
