Once summer rolls around, every wino needs to be prepared to take it on in fabulous, boozy fashion.

From ringing in the sizzling season with festive beach and pool parties, to barbecues and picnics for Memorial Day Weekend, there are some necessities any wine lover simply cannot live without.

She needs to be equipped for every backyard rager, girls' night out, and beach trip to get her drink on in style.

Once the weather warms up, she lives by that “rosé all day” mentality. It's the only way she knows how to roll, and she wouldn't have it any other way.

Here are 11 essentials all winos should be equipped with to slay it this summer.

1. "Namast'ay home and drink wine" tank top

2. Merlot infused coffee

3. Four-pack of canned wine

Crack open a can, kick back, and chillax.

4. Light up wine sign
