You may get some looks with that. If you didnt know it was wine it looks like a blood bank.

True lol!  And depending on the grape of white wine you choose it might look like an odd form of self cleansing!!! :o

Had one and burst it on it's first outing....

Punctured it with a thorn that somehow ended up in my grub bag...

Noticed it at lunch and ended up with red wine sandwiches and much merriment for the rest of of the days paddling...
