The Easier Way to Picnic

05 26th, 2009 Author: PicnicPacker

No one should be excluded from the fun and spontaneity of an outdoor picnic. But for some people, carrying a picnic basket isn’t feasible. Once it’s filled with all the food and beverages, it can actually become somewhat heavy, and it might simply be too much to carry the basket all the way to the lunch spot. Or, if it’s not too heavy, maybe it’s simply too awkward. Many people, after all, like to bike into their picnic destination, and a basket makes that a bit tricky.

One solution is to look into any number of wine picnic backpacks. Not only are these specially equipped to safely and securely transport your wine, but they can also be worn like a standard backpack. By freeing both your hands, many picnickers find that a backpack makes the prospect of picnicking all the easier. And because you can bike or hike in, it also allows you to reach even more secluded and romantic areas than you might with a standard picnic basket.

Enjoy Your Chianti Outdoors

No picnic is complete without the right beverages. For some people, that means a thermos of hot tea or coffee. For others it means an assortment of fruit juices. But for many people, every picnic is best enjoyed with a lovely bottle of chardonnay or a nice, full bodied merlot. But if you’re a wine connoisseur, it used to be tricky for you to take a bottle with you on your picnic. Without the proper place to store it, it was simply too likely that the glass bottle would break in transit.

But now there’s an easy way to bypass this problem. With wine carriers, you can comfortably and easily bring along whatever bottle of wine you’d like. Often they are even outfitted with insulation, so the bottle won’t get overly hot or cold once it’s outside. The insulation also provides another level of padding, helping to ensure your wine will arrive to the picnic intact.
