Easy ideas for the perfect picnic with friends

Sponsored feature 

Now that lockdown restrictions are lifting, the Rebel Wine team can’t wait to catch up with friends for a picnic in the great outdoors.

We love a picnic and are so excited to finally be able to catch up with friends.

We also like to share our picnic ideas, taking along our CBD-infused Rebel Wine.

The best thing about a can of wine of course is that no glasses are required, the cans are easily recycled, are light to carry and they look pretty too.

Our white Sauvignon Blanc Rebel is perfect with some incredible summer salads. Try goats cheese, with a Mediterranean salad, a dash of olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper served with crusty French bread. 

Take pots of ready-made chocolate mousse, with fresh strawberries and shortbread to dip.

With our superb Rose Rebel, we suggest a mezze style spread with fresh houmous, stuffed vine leaves, cured meats, olives, smokey pickled garlic, sun dried tomatoes, cucumber slices and lots of pitta bread. Finish off with melon and mango slices and a chocolate brownie or two.

To pair with our Red Rebel, a fabulous Merlot with a medium bodied, soft flavour, we suggest a full cheese board including stilton, gorgonzola, gouda and a strong cheddar – to name just a few!  

Wine works particularly well with cheese as the acidity and sweetness of a well-paired wine cuts through the creamy barrier of the cheese and unlocks the fuller flavour. Add lots of Rustic biscuits, figs and nuts to finish the plate.

And of course, don’t forget your rugs, chairs, napkins, paper plates, knives and forks.

Why CBD with wine?  

Our CBD is derived from a natural organic hemp infusion. CBD oil can have an earthy, bitter taste, but combining hemp with quality award winning wine, there is no aftertaste. If you enjoy a glass of wine and already take CBD, this is the perfect combination.

Taking CBD as part of a healthy lifestyle choice is perfectly legal in the UK and will not give you a ‘high’.
