This snug-fitting cover will keep red wine warm or, if you are giving a bottle as a gift, it makes the perfect wrap. The main part is decorated with cable and bobble design that becomes a tight rib at the top to fit snugly over the neck of the bottle. It is designed to fit standard-sized 750-ml wine bottles.

The cozy wool and alpaca blend is
ideal to keep red wine at the perfect
temperature. If you want to make
the cover to keep white or rose wine
cool, choose a light cotton yarn in
pale or neutral shades. To complete
a gift wrap, find a matching ribbon
and tie it around the neck with a
handwritten label.
