Wine Bottle protector for luggage

Haven't tried that particular one but they all work pretty well ---- BUT they take up a lot of room. A couple of bottles with the protectors takes up about half the suitcase.

I find that dirty laundry makes for excellent wine bottle protectors. Cautious types put the bottles in a zip lock bag first.

I’ve used the wineskins and have had no problem.

I've never used those but I've used 2.5 gallon zip lock bags surrounded by dirty laundry and have had no issues. In fact, our luggage was delayed getting back to us from Greece and I had a number of bottles of olive oil and honey, I thought for sure something would be broken but everything showed up in one piece. I like the zip lock bags because they don't take up any room and I can use them for other things if I don't bring back anything liquid.

We've used this style of bottle protector on a few trips, plus cushioning the bottles carefully in the middle of our suitcases as much as possible: https://www.amazon.com/WineHero-Reusable-Protector-Airplane-Accessory/dp/B06Y2LQX6F/
Amazon has several different brands available. So far we've had success transporting bottles home this way. Good luck!

We travel with a stuffable duffel bag too, so we can carry on clothes (usually dirty ones) and pack any purchased wine and liquor bottles in our checkeg luggage. Like the Amazon link for the wine bags.

I've used something similar to great success. I've also used a pair of thick wool socks for pint jars of jam, then slipped them in a ziplock.

We have yet to lose a bottle of wine in luggage wrapped with dirty clothes, or in wine shippers checked as luggage. Wine bottles are actually very strong and would take a very heavy object directly on glass to break the bottle. Make sure the neck of bottle is padded between bottle and end of suitcase.

I've had good luck with the dirty-laundry-cushioning method as well. We sometimes pack sheets of bubble wrap and use that as well. When we've traveled during the fall or winter season, and I've packed boots, that's another great place to slip in a bootle or two. We've been lucky and never had spillage or breakage.

On the other hand, we once got a little carried away on a trip to Italy and employed the packable, stuff-able duffel method to increase the amount of stuff we could bring home and the extra baggage fees of 100 euros significantly increased the cost-per-bottle. In future trips, we bought wine at a local wine shop in Montepulciano and had them ship it for us :~). Ditto with a winery. Also pricey, but we selected wines we loved which are not readily available in the U.S.

After bringing home wine on a South Africa trip that broke and ruined several articles of clothing, I bought the inflatable wine sleeves on Amazon. I bought the other kind too that don’t inflate, but have bubble wrap on the inside. Both work well! We took 6 bottles of wine with us to Norway last summer and none broke and we very much enjoyed having our own wine for happy hour each night.

The inflatable sleeves do take up more room than the other kind. We just brought a cheap carry on type suitcase for the wine and when the wine was gone, we left it at hotel.

Hi,

It's up to you, but maybe the inflated protectors will take up a lot of space in your luggage.

For glass jars, bottles, or other fragile items, I bring sheets of bubble wrap. It adds protection without a big bulk. Then, I wrap or cushion the items in between clothes in my checked luggage. I also carry a few larger zip lock type bags to put the wrapped liquids in. So far, so good. No problems.

Perforated bubble wrap sheets are almost weightless and quite a few pieces can slide into your luggage. One time, I also unzipped the liner in the luggage and slid the bubble wrap sheets in there until I needed them for my return home.
