I'm wine drunk right now (finished my exams today) for the first time in a while, and I seem to have forgotten how great it is (at least until morning). Can anyone suggest a good wineskin, because next time I go camping, I would love nothing more than to feel like this at night (well most likely the last night and when someone else drove, so I can sleep off the hangover as a buddy drives me back). anyway, input is appreciated.

:D Way to open a thread there cmdionne! :thumbup: That's gotta be one of the best starts I've heard in a while.

Congrats on finishing the exams.

I suppose the inner bag from a box o' wine and some paracord would be a bit tacky, huh? :p
 
Well perhaps, but suposing I stitch a bit of cordura around said bag liner, I may have a passable wineskin. I shall investigate such matters another time, and I should require a box o'wine bladder to do so. I might as well block off tommorow night for procurement of supplies.

I wish I could say I hadn't done this with beer. But it was the way I finally managed to sneak beer into Univ. Michigan football games. Duct taped to my thigh, hose running up through my collar (had to customize the drinking hose), it was pretty hard to drink it all before it got warm. I will do it with beer, but I think it lacks the class necessary for carriage of red wine. Call me particular, but I do what I want.

They make one for women called the wine rack.
 
REI and a few other outdoor stores used to sell water bags made of ripstop or cordura nylon with a plastic liner. The pour/fill spout was the same as from one of those box wine containers. I once had an old REI water bag start to leak on a whitewater trip. We had brought some box wine to avoid the problems presented by bottles. I pulled the old valve off the REI bag and replaced it with the valve from an empty wine container. I don't know why you couldn't simply fill the REI water bag with wine. Of course, you'd want to wait until immediately before a trip to fill it and keep it cool.

Maybe I'm being dense, but couldn't you use one of these guys:

Where I'm at, these things are usually available at Meijer/Walmart in the camping section for not much. Seems like a logical fix.

I have a couple of these guys floating around and I like to use them for wine. You do have to wash them out after usage otherwise risk spoiling the next bit of wine that you put them in. I have to say, tipping that traditional wine skin upward and giving yourself a squirt of the 'red liquid of life' is darn good.

However, I do recognize that you ultra-lighter's out there are sensitive to things like carrying 750 mL of liquid at 0.998 g/cm3 densities. So, maybe you just need a bit more concentrated fuel? Something like this vessel will do :)

The Platypus is great. I've used it for some Yukon Jack or the like. Better seal than a wine box or REI water bag.
