The Red, White, and Green

Here at The Red, White, and Green, we’re pretty obsessed with finding reusable bags for nearly every conceivable purpose — dry cleaning, produce shopping, looking stylish — and figured we had pretty much surveyed the entire market. That is, until loyal reader SH sent us a photo of her latest green bag find: the reusable wine tote.

Up until now, I had either been nestling wine bottles in between my groceries and praying that they didn’t break on the way home or taking those small paper wine sleeves (and reusing them as very skinny lunch bags). This bag, with its six compartments, is sheer genius — why haven’t I seen these before? It’s also sturdy as heck, made of ultra durable and machine washable polypropylene.

Unfortunately, the one pictured above is only available online for wholesale purchase (maybe you can find one at your local liquor store, like Chicago suburb–based reader SH did), but you can order a similar one at EcoBags.com. 

The only downside to these is my wallet (well, and maybe my liver); I’m going to feel compelled to fill all the bag’s compartments every time I run out for a bottle of vino!
