I know, I know, I know.
Bring it to the High School Senior Prom or other no-alcohol event so that you can show it off.
A niche market if there ever was one.
How about this instead?
Now that’s what I was going to suggest!
I mean, it doesn’t have to be an umbrella!
This is the biggest disappointment I have ever experienced - since that time a friend bought a bottle of baby powder to my sweet sixteen sleepover.
Who needs anything this fancy?
The word “booze” adds a sleazy taint to this otherwise sophisticated and classy product.
The only situation I can think of that would object more strongly to umbrellas than to booze is ‘canny Bulgarian dissidents’; but that’s not really ‘prank’ territory…
For triple misdirection put the flask in an umbrella in the wine bottle. who’d ever suspect.
I’m waiting for the Alexa-enabled version!

Must be a dry wine.
The only scenario I could picture:
A: “Why are you carrying a wine bottle with you everywhere?”
B: "It’s not wine, it’s an umbrella. See? (opens and reveals chute)
And that trains people to ignore the real wine bottle you start carrying around afterwards. “Oh, that’s just B with his novelty umbrella.”
I know, it’s not really plausible, but that’s all I can think of. Or for keeping in the glove compartment, that sort of thing.
Is that a wine bottle in your pocket…or are you just expecting rain? …(snicker snicker, nudge nudge)
Eh? Eh?..expecting rain?
I have a wine bottle that conceals wine. My umbrella looks exactly like an umbrella. Am I doing this right?
Would unsheathing this umbrella violate an open container law?
Heathen. Where are the gloves gonna go?
