Have Wine, Will Travel
Don't want to risk soaking your suitcase with your souvenir sangiovese? You can always take your chances on wrapping your bottles with dirty laundry (my own preferred technique), but here's a piece of travel gear for the truly risk-averse oenophile. Designed for "culinary travelers," the liquid-tight BottleWise Duo bag will hold two 750 ml bottles of wine inside checked luggage. Sure beats trying to fill up those TSA-regulated tiny shampoo bottles. $58.95 to $125, depending on color and style, at BottleWise.com.

This is a ridiculous item. I put a bottle in a plastic bag (often the laundry bags that I find in a hotel closet), tie the end to seal it and wrap the bottle in a towel (gift from the hotel)and things work well. Never had a mishap. I can't see spending this kind of money on a padded bag. The bags cost more than most wine.

Does "me" really think that towel is a "gift" from the hotel? He deserves to have his bottle of rotgut break in his suitcase!

What a great idea! My darling husband tried being smart a year ago wrapping two bottles of prized merlot in laundry bags and sweaters. Ended up dyeing our suitcase full of clothes. The bottles broke and ripped through the bags. Lost hundreds of dollars in soaked items and replacements. This one's going on my xmas list for hubby.
