5 hacks for drinking wine in a heatwave ☀️

When the temperature rises, your wine game needs to stay chill. Whether you're lounging in a park, hosting a BBQ, or trying not to melt on your balcony, we've got you covered. At Vinito, we're all about helping you sip smarter - especially in the sun.

From canned wine hacks to subscription perks, here are 5 ways to make summer wine drinking effortless, fun, and eco-friendly.

 

1. Skip the Bottle - Go Canned

Let’s be real: no one wants to lug a heavy bottle around in 30°C heat. Enter: canned wine. It chills faster, travels better, and leaves no glass behind. Our wine subscription delivers a rotating lineup of sleek, stylish canned wines right to your door, ready for picnics, poolside hangs, or spontaneous summer nights.

🥂 Try our chilled sparkling rosé in a can—it’s a park-day essential. 

 

2. Freeze Your Grapes

Frozen grapes = nature’s ice cubes. Pop a few into your wine glass to keep things cold without watering down the flavour. Bonus: they make a great snack when you're feeling peckish in the sun. If you've not got time to do this, just use ice. (We don't judge!)

🍇 Pro tip: match red grapes with red wine and green grapes with white!

 

3. Chill Smarter, Not Harder

No ice bucket? No problem. Wrap your wine can or bottle in a damp paper towel and stick it in the freezer for 15 minutes. This quick-cool trick works wonders - just set a timer so you don’t forget!

And remember, canned wine gets cold way quicker than glass bottles. Yet another reason we love it.

 

4. Lighten Up

Heavy reds and full-bodied whites can be a bit much in the heat. Swap them for lighter, brighter options - think pét-nats, chilled reds, or citrusy whites. Not sure what to try?

Our wine subscription takes the guesswork out of it. We handpick the best wines for summer sipping - delivered monthly, no commitment.

🍷 Not your average supermarket picks—expect fun, flavour, and a few surprises.

 

5. Bring the Cool Bag

A chic cooler is your summer BFF. Ours comes with every Vinito starter pack, perfectly sized for a few cans, a wine glass, and snacks. Plus, it looks cute slung over your shoulder. 

🎒 Stylish, sustainable, and seriously practical.

Sip Sustainably This Summer

Canned wine isn’t just convenient - it’s also better for the planet. Lighter to ship, easier to recycle, and with a smaller carbon footprint than traditional bottles. Our wine subscription puts great wine in your hands while helping you tread lighter on the planet.

So whether you're a wine newbie or full-on vino nerd, these summer wine hacks are your shortcut to chilled-out sipping with zero fuss.
