Wine Bag Stripes

The Wine Bag Stripes is a carrier bag for wine from Esplanda, finished in a striped pattern. It is merchandise, not a beverage, so there are no tasting notes, serving temperatures or cellaring guidance to give. Bags in this style are usually sized for a standard 750 ml bottle, and many also take a larger bottle or a few smaller ones. Check the dimensions and material listed on the product page before buying if you have a particular bottle in mind. The stripes make the bag easy to recognize in a crowded hallway or on a table of gifts. They also make it work as simple wrapping, so a bottle you are bringing to a dinner or giving as a present arrives in something that looks chosen. A reusable bag like this can replace a disposable paper or plastic sack, and it can be used again for the next bottle or for carrying other small items. For gifting, put the bottle in upright and keep the neck facing out, so it is easy to lift out and the label stays visible. If you are carrying a bottle that has been chilled, such as a white, rosé or sparkling wine, expect some condensation on the glass and wipe the bottle before it goes in. That helps keep the inside of the bag dry. Check the care instructions on the product page for cleaning, since they depend on the fabric.
