Review -Did you bring wine to the party? Imagine showing up with a bottle of elegant wine wrapped in a tacky plastic bag. Oh, horror! WP Standard is a manufacturer of fine leather bags, wallets and accessories, offering their wine tote bags as a way to classify your arrival.
What is it?
The WP Standard Wine Tote is a well-made leather tote, designed to carry two bottles of standard wine and a small corkscrew.
What’s in the box?
- WP Standard leather handbag with corkscrew bag
Hardware specifications
- Dimensions: width: 9 inches, height: 13.5 inches, depth: 3.5 inches
- Capacity: Two standard 750ml wine bottles
- Structure: Thick tanned leather
Design and features
WP Standard wine tote bags are assembled in Mexico. If you have ever been to Mexico, you will know that high-quality leather goods are everywhere. This is no exception. It looks and feels very sophisticated.
Looking inside the bag, you can see the huge open space separated by a belt to separate the two bottles.
The divider is fixed to the handbag with brass rivets.
The included corkscrew pouch is very small and designed for waiter style corkscrews or wine cork extractors. It will not fix the wing opener. As you can see here, the pocket corkscrew is also very suitable.
Performance
The WP Standard tote bag can fulfill its design purpose-to hold two bottles of wine. Because it is an open design, it is not insulated. This means that if you like cold wine, this tote will not keep your wine cold. If you like to drink white wine like we do, then you may want to look for an insulated tote bag. If you like to drink red wine and drink it at room temperature, then this will be an elegant way to carry wine with you on your adventures.
Since the corkscrew bag is very small, you must comfortably use the waiter’s corkscrew, cork extractor or pocket corkscrew. I? I prefer the big old lever corkscrew, so I am out of luck.
What else is missing? The place to put the glasses. If you don’t want to slam your wine directly from the bottle, you will also need another tote bag to carry the drinking container.
what do I like
What will i change
- The corkscrew pouch limits your choice of corkscrew style
- Cannot carry glasses
- A bit expensive
Final thoughts
The WP Standard tote bag is a very beautiful wine tote bag. If you bring wine to drink, it is definitely more effective to drink at room temperature than chilled wine. Of course, if you just want to take wine with you and refrigerate it at your destination, this tote bag can meet your needs. I would like to see some options with glasses and maybe a larger corkscrew bag. Nonetheless, if you bring wine as a gift from the host/hostess, this will allow you to do so in a stylish way.
