If there’s one thing Australians know how to do, it’s picnic. From beachside spreads to lazy afternoons in the park, we’ve turned outdoor grazing into an art form. At Glassy, we believe every picnic deserves a little more style, a little less mess, and a whole lot of good wine. So pack the rug, rally the crew, and let’s turn your next picnic into an experience worth toasting.
The Essentials (aka your toolkit for carefree sipping)
A proper Aussie picnic doesn’t require much, just a few clever swaps that take you from basic to brilliant.
-
The rug: Go big or go home. A picnic blanket that fits the whole crew (and the cheese board) is a must.
-
The food: Think easy, tasty, and shareable. Cheese, charcuterie, fresh fruit, sausage rolls, and something sweet. PRO TIP: A tackle box is a great way to pack a grazing board.
-
The drinks: Whether you’re a Shiraz loyalist, a bubbles enthusiast, or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc type, the right glass makes all the difference. Enter Glassy, a shatterproof and weighted glass designed to enhance every sip. No spills, no cracked stems, just pure picnic perfection.
-
The extras: Freeze a few grapes to keep wine chilled without watering it down. Trust us, it’s genius.
Sustainable Swaps (because Mother Nature deserves a toast, too)
Picnics can be fun without the landfill guilt. A few simple swaps go a long way,
-
Beeswax wraps instead of cling film
-
Reusable cutlery (no sad, bendy plastic forks here)
-
A set of Glassy wine glasses to replace throwaway cups
How to Pour Like a Pro Outdoors
Yes, there’s an art to the outdoor pour.
-
Keep whites and rosés chilled in an insulated bag (or an eski, if you’re serious).
-
Avoid overfilling your Glassy, let the wine breathe, even at the park. Pour to the widest point of the glass.
A Toast to Sunny Days & No Broken Glass
The best part about a picnic? It’s never about perfection. It’s about laughs, stories, and that one friend who always brings too much hummus. So here’s to warm days, good mates, and wine that tastes as good in the park as it does at the table.
Next time you’re planning an outdoor feast, skip the plastic cups and Act Glassy.
