Can I carry on two bottles of wine?

Actually, no. You can't bring liquids on a plane. There are wine sleeves that are like a wine shaped bubble wrap that you can purchase in most wine shops. We have brought several bottles back that way. The only other way is a wine safe that is more expensive than the wine probably is.

If it were me, I'd fly without the bottles, then buy two special bottles after arriving.

You can check the bag in.

Take the bottles to a slhipping company or a wine shop that ships and ship them to yourself or to your friend. No carryon adn packing them in your luggage is risky at best.

I've checked in 9 bottles of wine - a cardboard case for 12, a sheet of bubbly plastic lining the bottom, then around each bottle in a wave pattern and topping with a layer of the same sheet. Case was put in a sports bag with some thick sweaters or towels around it. Total weight with toiletries

I long for the pre 9/11 days when you could carry on wine! I tend to put wines in my suitcase in styro shippers. I've had good luck, but if a truly expensive bottle you might consider the pre- shipping option - we've all heard TSA stories.

I've flown with wine many times, and these days I usually place them in a styrofoam shipper (which you can purchase from many wine retailers) and check it in. I've also placed bottles in my luggage, taking care to wrap them to avoid breakage. Both methods work in my experience.

Packing them carefully in your checked luggage works, but can provide for some anxious moments. We brought 8 bottles back from Italy wrapped in our dirty clothes and some bubble wrap. I was distressed to see red liquid all over our big suitcase as it came down the luggage chute in PHL. Luckily it turned out to be some sugary drink some luggage handler had spilled on the bag, and not our wine. It survived intact.

Just to add to the paranoia. Flying in summer results in bags sitting for some long periods in the sun. If yours is on top of the heap . . . cooked wine. It is a gamble at best. Joseph Coulter Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations LLC

Styro helps a lot. I took couple bottles (including 30 year of clos de Beze) to Sacramento in summer (via Las Vegas). Checked a large suitcase, in the middle I had 2 bottle styro , inside plastic bag with a cold gelpack, in the middle of clothing. Bottles cool to touch on arrival

Depends on what the wine is and how special they are. For instance, at Sea-Tac there are now two shops stocking excellent wines once you get past security. The Vino Volo shop carries a lot of better wine, so you may have an option like that.

I've also taken half a dozen bottles to Mexico in a shipper box checked in as luggage. Not coincidentally, El Tesoro de Don Felipe reposado tequila comes in Bordeaux-sized bottles in Mexico. I didn't see any reason to leave the shipper there, or to bring it back empty, so...
