This makes me think of traveling back from Hungary with a case of wine. I carried it on, but somewhere in the flights back (I think the UK) they said, "You can't carry that on." I did on the last two flights! Come on... No, we'll check that for you. And then you think, "I know these weren't packed for being checked... uh oh..." All the bottles made it, much to my relief.

I love CA and have brought back bottles of red wine in my suitcases and prayed everytime I opened them that they were not broken. Thank goodness it has never happened.

Love going to St. Thomas and taking my own wine but always worry about packing my wine in my suitcase even though I bubble wrap it well! This would be perfect! What a great idea for a gift!

My husband and I have a trip in April for my sister-in-law's wedding, We are going to Monaco for the entire week of and I am ecstatic.She is getting married in front of Cathédrale de Monaco, the same chapel that Princess Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier III. I will be bringing a lot of wine home with us and pray that the baggage handlers are not as careless as the ones we encountered in Atlanta, Georgia!

My favorite destination is the French Alps. I was fortunate to travel to Voiron, France in college where I first tried Chartreuse liquor. It's probably one of the most memorable wine experiences of my life. I took the wine back to the U.S. the old fashioned way - smuggled in my suitcase.
