Wine & Champagne Baskets

Wicker Wine and Champagne Baskets for Every Occasion

The range covers single-bottle carriers with shoulder straps, two-bottle wine baskets with central dividers, double-decker champagne carriers with glass holders, fitted wine and cheese baskets with cutting board attachments, and dedicated chilled garden party baskets with insulated linings. Most are handwoven from willow and rattan, with leather or fabric trim and brass-effect fittings.

When a Proper Wine Basket Comes Into Its Own

Any occasion where the bottle's arrival matters. Bringing a good bottle to a dinner party (it shows you've thought about more than just the contents), gifting wine to a host or anniversary couple, taking champagne to a picnic or garden party, or transporting bottles to a Christmas dinner without worrying about glass clinking against glass in the boot of the car. They make particularly thoughtful gifts for wine enthusiasts, retirements and milestone birthdays.

Most include integrated wine glass storage, either built-in straps that hold stemmed glassware safely above the bottles, or dedicated glass compartments that lift out separately. The chiller versions add a layer of insulation that keeps a chilled bottle cold for several hours, which makes a real difference for whites and rosés on a warm afternoon. Our picnic accessories range adds picnic blankets and other essentials to complete the kit.

How to Choose and Care for a Wine Carrier Basket

For everyday use, single or two-bottle carriers are the most versatile, sized to transport a bottle from off-licence to dinner party without taking up much room. For dedicated picnic and event use, the fitted hampers with multiple compartments make sense. For gifting, look for the more decorative styles with leather trim and fabric lining, since the recipient will keep the basket as well as the wine.

Care is straightforward: wipe down the willow with a damp cloth if it picks up spills, keep the leather conditioned with a beeswax-based dressing once a year, and store it dry between uses to prevent any musty smells developing.
