There have been plenty of kooky inventions lately to rejuvenate the way you go about your daily life to make it just that bit more fun. For example, the honcho for pub garden downpours, Amber Davies’ cold water tub- and who can forget the Starbucks' colour changing confetti cup. Well, listen up, 'cause there’s a new revolutionary item on the block.
Imagine the scene- it’s wine o’clock and you need to bring your bottle of Whispering Angel out with you- for a picnic, garden gathering or to drink on the tube. Sure, you can chuck it in your handbag, but:
- It’ll get rattled around, making for a bubbly brew or a broken vessel
- It’s not cute
Introducing this summer’s hottest new accessory theWine Bottle Tote Bagavailable now at Nasty Gal. Isn’t this just the cutest darn thing you’ve ever seen?!
The tote bag, made from canvas material, has been designed, sourced and made in the UK (aka ultra eco-friendly which we love) and is available in either beige or black.
But best of all- it’s currently on sale! It retails at £12, but it’ll cost you only £8.40 for a limited time only. What a bargain. Get it in our shopping basket noooooow. Alongside this, you can even buy an insulated wine bottle to one up your picnic game, meaning no dreaded warm wine at your soiree.
Searches for ‘romantic picnic ideas’ are up +319% compared to last year, which is not a surprise bearing in mind we’ve been stuck inside for so long. A picnic is a perfect way to show someone you love them, and the world certainly needs more love right now. Celebrating with the one’s you care about is not complete without a bottle of wine, and the Wine Bottle Tote Bag is the way forward.

The Health Benefits of Wine
Wine is a god send- yes it’s delicious and gets you hammered, but did you know it has lots of health benefits?
According to the Health Magazine, wine in moderation (aka a little glass of wine a day) can lead to amazing benefits such as reducing clots and blood vessel inflammation, both of which have been linked to a risk of cofnitive decline and heart disease.
Even better, “Premenopausal women who drink one or two glasses of wine a day are 40 percent less likely than women who don’t drink to develop type 2 diabetes, according to a 10-year study by Harvard Medical School”. Woah!
Any excuse for a glass of merlot tbh.
