CLIF Climber Pouch Simplifies Wine Tasting in the Great Outdoors!

Beginning Thursday, August 25, we will be stocking the CLIF Climber Pouch in both Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon!

If you’ve ever tried to bring bottles of wine with you on a long hike or camping trip, you know that toting big glass bottles around is neither lightweight or easy. And if you manage to break a bottle on the way, good luck with that. Red wine-soaked sleeping bags don’t make for a good start to a weekend in the woods. Clif Family Winery & Farm has come up with an environmentally-friendly solution for wine drinkers who also happen to be adventurers. The Climber Pouch ($17 for 1.5L) is ultra-lightweight and easy to carry just about anywhere. The packaging has a tiny carbon footprint in comparison to glass bottles, and the pouch can be resealed to keep wine fresh for up to a month. The Climber pouch is available in Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon varietals and even has a built-in carrying handle. The company is also a member of an organization that donates one percent of sales to help the environment, and we can always get down with that.
