What it is:
A handy little portable table to hold your wine glasses, even on grass.
Why we love it:
Picnicking in the park is one of the timeless joys of summer. The rains of spring leave, the plants and trees bloom and there's nothing nicer than a delicious lunch in the great outdoors. The song of the birds, the buzz of insects in the trees, the perilous attempts to balance your drink while slicing your sandwich in half. Okay, that last one, not really so fun. We'd love to make our picnic a little more cultured by the inclusion of a nice glass of wine, but it's hard enough to get our soda can to stand up on grass, much less a top-heavy wine glass. If you know someone who enjoys dining al fresco, but doesn't love feeding their favorite vintage to the lawn, this clever little picnic "table" will solve all their woes. Small enough to fit in a picnic basket, it folds down for easy storage, and it's equipped with a stake, to stick it in the ground, and two handy little holders to keep your vino off the grass and in your glass. We may not be able to chase the ants away from your sandwich, but at least we can keep your drink safe.
