Summer Essential: Wine Botas For Perfect Picnic Drinks Service

Botas050911_3_blog.jpg

Drinking wine in the park is one of the season's great pleasures, but shlepping bottles and surreptitiously pouring them into plastic cups can ruin the vibe. Instead, try a bota. This traditional leather-sided Spanish vessel stylishly hauls up to a liter (about a bottle and a third) of your favorite vintage and makes serving it as easy as squeezing a squirt-top bottle.

Bota by Jesús Blasco, $50, from www.winebotas.com.
