there is all of this hullabaloo on S&B over

[Nicole]

the wine purse.

and then a co-worker brought this to my attention yesterday:

[sweetcaroline10]

LOL. We used to do this in college but with a $5 canvas bag and a hole cut out for the spout. I could have saved them $64.95.

[Nicole]

Also, i bought these for my H one year for xmas as a stocking stuffer so he and his buddies can drink at the beach. they're called can-o-flauge

[iamgrace]

I think that wine sack thing could have its uses. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't spend that much on it, though. the watermelon thing is cute- like for summer party, but not for serious drinking. Lol.

[leeann]

It seems like they are trying to say you can tote that thing around, but I feel like it would be heavy/cumbersome with the non flexible strap.

[melodramatic26]

Nicole- those are awesome and so smart.

Caroline- that is brilliant. I can't believe it's not ever occured to me to do that. Thanks for saving me $64.95-lol.

[eightangryreindeer]

do you take the foil sack out of the box and put it in this bag?

This is stupid.

[Nicole]

ugh, you are such a wine snob with all of your accessible sonoma wines and all.

[eightangryreindeer]

For a second I actually thought you were supposed to pour a bottle of wine in this, It's made in China, I bet the inside of it smells like a tire.

Which is why I asked about the foil bag.

Kind of a cute idea for a party if you don't want to just put your box-o-wine out there, you could get colored canvas bags (or whatever you could cut a hole in really) and just plunk the foil bags in there.

Feel free to steal this idea and put it on pinterest! lol

i think caroline mentioned getting a canvas water bag and putting wine in that.

that's a good idea and way cheaper!


But you know, I used to just smuggle whole 5ths of Jack Daniels in the bottom of my purse back in the day. Buy a large diet coke and dump that sucker in there.

I know this thing is way too stuck up for me, lol.

[Mrs.Beagle]

You can use these with them. www.rei.com/product/798283/gsi-outdoors-nesting-wineglass

[leeann]

If you can drop $70 to carry your box o' wine, you might not be drinking box o' wine.

[Mrs.Beagle]

Why can't you do what normal people do?

Hide booze in your bra and shorts.

I'm not sure a canvas bag would make it more Klassy.

[eightangryreindeer]

No, but it would be sort of cute to have a row of brightly colored bags or boxes or plastic piggy banks or whatever instead of a row of ugly boxes.

I'm going for kute, not klassy here, we're talking bags of wine.

If I had a huge party at home, I might resort to the bagged wine.

The pic below is actually what was originally posted. There is also a red and rose. They are something like $12.99 and I'm actually going to order a few for an upcoming girls weekend. I am obviously not discriminating about my wine

OK these would be awesome for a bachelorette party! lol

[dochas]

Ok, bags WOULD be kute. There is a wine I like called Red Truck - it's not expensive but not, like, Night Train cheap. It is a corked bottle and only comes in the standard 750ml size. LOL But it also came in little barrels that held the same amount as 3 bottles. It was adorable, and really did keep the wine fresh.
