As a nationally recognized sommelier, Matthew Kaner has traveled the world for wine so he knows exactly what every wine enthusiast needs on the go. In this curated list, he features his top essentials for enjoying wine while traveling without compromising any of the quality. Whether it's your honeymoon or you're going on a picnic with friends, each of these products makes it easy to enjoy your favorite wine with your favorite people wherever you are.
With stainless steel construction, double-wall vacuum insulation, and a no-sweat design, the YETI Rambler Wine Tumbler will stay cool even on the hottest of days. Matthew loves bringing out his Yeti Wine Tumbler on pool days because he knows it can't break. It comes with a removable MagSlider lid that uses magnets power to keep your drink contained. "YETI is known as one of the best cooler brands out there and they use that same ingenuity to make this wine tumbler," Matthew says. This wine tumbler is dishwasher safe and is made with a Duracoat coating so the color won't crack, peel, or fade over time.
Once you have the Picnic Time Colorado Cooler Backpack, you'll want to take it everywhere. With a sleek, modern exterior and a fully-insulated 20-can-capacity cooler section, it’s already a fantastic picnic cooler bag. It's light so you can be on the move for as long as you want while carrying all of your wine essentials and food. Matthew has owned a lot of cooler backpacks before but this is his go-to because it has the best design. It can carry a couple of bottles of wine and an entire picnic right inside. You can open the double-zippered front section to reveal a deluxe picnic set for 2, including two plates, two wine glasses, stainless steel silverware and waiter-style corkscrew, a salt and pepper shaker set, and two 100% cotton napkins. It's like a date night in one bag.
