FAQ - Wine and picnic

What wine should you bring on a picnic?

Go for an easy-drinking wine that stays fresh and low in tannin: a light red, a crisp rosé or a dry white all work well outdoors. For a meal on the grass, a supple red served slightly chilled is the safe choice, as long as you enjoy it in moderation under the sun.

How do you keep wine cool during a picnic?

A cooler or an insulated sleeve is enough to hold the bottle at the right temperature until serving. Take the wine out just before pouring so it doesn't warm up, and keep it in the shade between glasses.

Do you really need proper wine glasses on a picnic?

A real stemmed glass makes a difference: it releases the aromas far better than a plastic cup. Portable tables and picnic kits with dedicated glass slots let you set them down safely, even on uneven ground.

Which red wine works best for a picnic?

Choose a fruity, low-tannin red served around 14 to 16 °C, far more enjoyable than a heavy wine outdoors. Our red wines for picnics bring together cuvées from independent winemakers made for apéritifs and open-air meals.

How do you carry a wine bottle safely?

Keep the bottle upright in a rigid cooler or a padded bag to avoid knocks. Folding mini-tables with a dedicated bottle slot hold it steady once you arrive, so it won't roll or tip over.
