Booze you can use.

Lugging a heavy purse around can be a pain. But what if instead of that boring bag, you’re effortlessly packing multiple bottles of wine or champagne? Everything gets better when you’re stocked for fun, and the Wine Enthusiast neoprene wine tote allows you to comfortably carry up to three bottles of wine, complete with a chiller pack to keep ‘em cool.
