I always love including a Moscato wine in a Mishloach Manot. The packaging is sharp, and of course, everyone always enjoys the great taste.

I was so excited to see the new flavors of Bartenura Moscato this year, Peach and Lychee. The designs on the cans are just beautiful, perfect for a festive Purim package. I especially love the peach one, featured below.

All three of the ideas I created below use mostly store-bought items and are super simple and effortless to put together.

If you are looking for a beautiful Mishloach Manot idea, Moscato in different sized bottles or cans is always a good place to start.

Take a look below to watch how each Mishloach Manot was put together!

Directions:

1. Using the stamp supplies, stamp the basket with an initial. You can also use smaller letters and write Happy Purim…. or if you decide to skip this step, you can just add a tag.

2. Cut the tissue paper into 4-by-10-inch pieces. You will need two per basket.

3. Line the basket with the tissue paper, one in each direction. Fold the remaining tissue paper over the sides of the basket.

4. Fill burlap bags with food. For extra freshness, or if you are preparing this in advance, I would suggest putting your food in a cellophane bag first.

5. Place the wine and burlap bags in the basket.

Directions:

1. Cut the wrapping paper into 5 and 3/4-inch by 14-inch rectangles. I used two per box. With the wrong sides of the paper lined up, place the papers in the box.

2. Fill containers with candy.

3. Place candy and wine in the box.

4. Fold the paper so it overlaps on either side of the box, as pictured. You can use a clear round sticker to hold it in place.

5. Use the gold marker to personalize the tag.

6. Tie a bow, stick in the baby’s breath, and hang the tag.
