BEST WINES FOR CAMPING AND OUTDOOR DRINKING

Camping and wine might seem at odds. Glass bottles are heavy and breakable. You do not always have a fridge. And the logistics of opening wine in a tent without a proper surface are real.

But with the right approach, wine is one of the great camping pleasures. Here is how to do it properly.

WHY CANS ARE THE OBVIOUS CHOICE

Session Fizz in a 250ml can is the camping wine. No bottle opener, no glass, no risk of breakage. It fits perfectly in a cool bag, chills quickly, and the 250ml format means you can have one without committing to a whole bottle.

The six pack gives you one and a half litres of organic sparkling wine in a compact, lightweight format that fits in any rucksack. This is how camping wine should work.

FOR LONGER TRIPS — WINES THAT TRAVEL WELL

If you are going camping for several days and want to bring bottles, choose wines that are robust enough to survive being transported. Left on Red and The Groover both travel well and do not need precise temperature control to drink well.

NATURAL COOLING — RIVERS AND STREAMS

The traditional wild wine cooler — a cold river or stream — works beautifully for organic wine. Put a bottle of Rizzling or Thirst Trap in a cool stream for 20-30 minutes and you have perfectly chilled wine without a fridge. This is how wine was meant to be drunk.

LEAVE NO TRACE

Session Fizz cans are 100% recyclable. Take them home with you — or find a recycling point at the campsite. Drinking good wine in beautiful places means looking after those places. Available at locowines.co.uk.
