Tips for Enjoying Wine at Glastonbury
Stay Hydrated – Festivals can get hot and busy, so make sure to drink plenty of water between glasses of wine. Staying hydrated ensures you can enjoy the festival to the fullest.
Choose Wines You Can Sip Slowly – Since you’ll likely be busy between performances, opt for wines you can sip slowly, like those we’ve highlighted. A delicate rosé or sparkling wine is perfect for long afternoons in the sun.
Pack Smart – If you’re planning on bringing wine to Glastonbury, opt for screw-cap bottles or cans, which are much easier to carry and open in the festival atmosphere. Before you pack, pleaser refer to the Glastonbury Music Festival official website: Glastonbury Festivals and www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk
Pair with Festival Food – While food trucks and pop-up restaurants abound at Glastonbury, think about pairing your wine with festival snacks. Rosé pairs well with fresh salads and cheeses, while reds go great with hearty dishes.
