Hello travel table. This one collapses for easy storage, has two slots for wine glasses, and one hole for a full bottle. Plus it has just enough room left over to hold a plate of your favorite snacks. All you’ve got to do is plant the spike into the ground. Add to cart. ($58, Uncommon Goods)
Filter your wine. This tool removes histamines and sulfites. Aka, the things that can cause reactions like congestion, red cheeks, and headaches. And no, it won’t affect the taste. Simple solutions, we see you. ($19.95+, The Grommet)
Mark it. So you’re not playing mix and match. Safe not silly. ($19/set of 12, Goodee)
Wear it. Beyoncé wore kale. You wear wine. ($64, Sub_Urban Riot)
Slip on these. You know what they say...rosé all day. And with these adorable espadrilles, you’ll never want to take them off. Good thing they feature blanket stitching that helps the shoe mold to your foot. Ahhhmazing. ($85, Soludos)
Carry it. BYOW: bring-your-own-wine. This carrier is durable, will insulate your bottle, and will barely show stains. We love it. ($39, Goodee)
Create a charcuterie board. But don’t go about it blindly. This book helps you learn the best cheese and wine pairings. So you can really wow your guests. Chef’s kiss. ($14.95, Amazon)
Spray and wash. It works on fresh or dried stains. And on things other than wine (coffee, ink, and sauces). Just spray, wait a few minutes, and then toss in the laundry. Presto. ($9.23, Amazon)
Turn to a kit. This one does the work for you. One bag contains a mix of dehydrated fruits, veggies, spices and herbs. So you can make the perfect red wine sangria. But heads up, it needs to infuse for three days. So plan accordingly. ($15, InBooze on Etsy)
Bring a glass to shower. The silicone backing will stick to your shower wall. So you can shampoo and sip. Time to wine down. ($18, Urban Outfitters)
Seal it. Just insert the stopper and use the vacuum pump to create an airtight seal so your bottle says fresh. When you hear a click, you know the stopper is in the right place. No wine left behind. ($29.99, Amazon)
Make it to-go. This travel glass will prevent spills, is dishwasher-safe, and features a silicone cover. So it can withstand bumps and bruises. Sip, sip hooray. ($25, Uncommon Goods)
Shop around. This chardonnay has hints of pineapple and pear, paired with flavors of apple and citrus. It’ll be the perfect bottle on a warm summer day. ($16.99, McBride Sisters Collection)
Read up. With detailed taste profiles and region maps, you’ll become a wine pro. It even has serving tips and ways to identify flavors. So when you say ‘light-bodied’ or ‘dry,’ you’ll actually know what you’re talking about. Cheers. ($23, Bookshop)
Color the glass half-full. Break out your red crayons. It’s coloring time. Just try to stay within the lines. ($5.99, Amazon)
Freshen up. Instantly brighten up your smile and refresh your breath with a single wipe. They’re ideal for virtual wine tastings when you’re sipping different varieties. Plus they won’t interfere with the taste of your drink. Nothing to wine about here. ($14.20/pack of 12, Amazon)
Add some...wine-themed towels. Because you just can’t get enough. And you’ll get a good chuckle out of these. ($9, Kitchen Conversation on Etsy)
