Reader Request - Transporting Wine and Stemware

.

I received a couple of emails from readers asking how Charles and I transport our wine and stemware to BYOB establishments and I am more than happy to share.

If we are bringing just one bottle and no glassware then I use my giraffe purse. It's such a great conversation piece.

If it's a relatively small group then we use our very James Bond-esque wine suitcase. It neatly accommodates 2 bottles of wine and 4 pieces of stemware and up to 4 bottles of wine without the stemware. I found it at International Wine Accessories for $15. I love it so much I actually gave it as a gift to a few our friends for the holidays.


Easy enough for even a Pug to handle


Nice and neat and ready to enjoy

If we are meeting a large group of friends and we know we are going to go through a ton of wine and glassware then we will bring out the Party Pack. It's literally called that. We needed some cheap stemware for this very purpose and found a pack of 18 at Costco labeled as such for $18 bucks. If it breaks or we lose one - who cares? We transport the wine in a wine carton and then use the same carton to haul the dirty glassware back home. It's all zip zip and very easy to do.


If only Party Packs could talk, this one would have a lot to say
