The Two Things Your Outdoor Wine Actually Needs

There are two ways outdoor wine goes wrong.

The first is the glass. That flimsy, flexible cup that somehow makes a $40 Pinot taste like it was poured at a petrol station. You know the one. You've tried them all.

The second is the bottle. Lukewarm by the time you've found a spot on the grass. Overheated before you've finished the first pour. Great wine, ruined by ten minutes in the sun.

Fix both, and outdoor wine stops being a compromise. Kick back, relax with a cool drop. 

The glass problem: solved.

Stay Glassy was built for exactly this. We tested 13 glass shapes across 40 wine varieties with sommeliers to find the one shape that works hardest outdoors. Turns out that's The Entertainer, our hero glass.

It's made from shatterproof Tritan with a patented weighted base engineered to sit and feel like real glass. Not like a camping cup. Not like a festival cup. Like a real glass.

That distinction matters more than people realise until they're holding one.

The bottle problem: meet Get Freezy.

We came across Get Freezy and knew is was a must-have before we set sail on a summer sailing trip. 

Get Freezy makes wine bottle cooler sleeves. The kind that actually keep your bottle cold and not for twenty minutes, but for the afternoon. They're an Australian brand built from the same frustration we understand well: a smart product designed for people who care about the wine, not just the occasion.

The brand started from a holiday in Europe (travel born just like Stay Glassy), the observation that warm wine was being tolerated when it didn't have to be. Twelve months of testing later, they had something worth bringing home.

Sound familiar?

Why we're talking about them.

Between a Stay Glassy glass and a Get Freezy sleeve, you've covered both ends of the problem. The wine stays cold. The glass feels right. Everything in between is just the afternoon.

That's the whole point of what we're doing here. Not gear for the sake of gear. A setup that makes outdoor wine worth drinking.
