packing bottles of wine in your (checked) luggage
this weekend I was traveling, and bought 3 bottles of wine to bring home. I completely forgot that I wouldn't be able to bring the bottles in my carry-on. faced with the choice of leaving behind the ~ $100 worth of wine, or trying to to pack it up safely in the bag I was planning on checking, I chose the latter. I wrapped up each bottle in all my clothes (jeans, shirts, etc) and stole a couple of small towels from the hotel and used those as well. I put my shoes and other excess stuff around the edges of my bag. Everything fit very snugly in my bag.
there was 1 bottle of red, 1 bottle of white, and 1 bottle of olive oil (I lied above). the clothes I had in the bag were a few nice shirts (total value around $200), 2 nice pairs of jeans (value $150), and other more replaceable stuff like shorts, boxers, etc. was this a dumb move? |

[/ QUOTE ] i dunno man, it's probably pretty hard to break a bottle of wine, honestly. you packed it up good too right? didn't just throw them in there but wrapped them in your jeans or something? i don't see how they could break honestly. |

I still don't know why wine isn't bottled in plastic.

you cant bring this as carry on? i guess if this is the case, this is from the recent changes. i have brought many bottles as carry on in the past. most recently last may.

As long as you packed them near the middle of your suitcase, you really have nothing to worry about.
