Wine picnic baskets are both romantic and beautiful in essence.
Wicker wine picnic baskets are more traditional and classy looking while offering functionality with fasteners to lock your glasses and wine bottle in place.
Wine picnic baskets no longer refer to just a large picnic basket that can hold wine bottles or may be made in design to accommodate the height of a wine bottle. The latest in wine picnic basket design is a specific picnic basket designed for a wine drinker in mind. The picnic basket will often only allow enough room for 1-2 bottles of wine, a wine bottle opener, a cheese slicer and a cutting board. It’s smaller in size overall, but is definitely tall enough to fit the bottles.
If you are a fan of the classic wicker wine picnic basket look then you might be interested in an insulated wine wicker basket. The insulation has a state of the art thermo guard that can keep your wine chilled for hours. The basket is sort of barrel shaped with an insulated flap piece that divides the chilled wine bottle from the glasses, napkins and bottle opener.
Another type of wine picnic baskets make from wicker are the designs that feature your bottles to be carried on the side of the wicker basket. It is attached to the outside back side of the basket for easy access. Of course the inside of the basket will look ordinary with the glasses secured to the opening flap along with the cheese slicer.
Some larger basket designs will feature the wicker basket to open with 2 flaps. Each flap will fasten your utensils and you store the wine in the main compartment of the basket. This design is great for holding plenty of cheese and wine and a fleece blanket is attached to the outside so you can conveniently set up your picnic quickly.
