You just stick your bottle in and seal it. I always buy too much to make this cost effective, but if you are buying a few bottles, this seems the way to go!

Most wineries do sell them along with shipping containers. Shipping containers are the best way to go as they are what most shipping companies use to transport wine. As Philip indicated these shipping containers can be used as checked luggage. @akops41 - being Canadian, I'm curious to hear what BC wine you were supposed to get. @oceank8 … the product you are thinking of is called ‘Wine Skin’ http://www.ftscontent.com/.

At least then if they break (unlikely, given that they are enclosed in a protective layer and its clear they are liquids, so there may be less manhandling) they dont spill inside your bag. The fact that if they broke they'd leak all over the inside of the planes hold or inside the airport might make people more careful with them as they, or their friends, may be called in to do some clean up afterwards.

Now I don't even bother trying to bring wine on the plane at all. All the more reason to place a larger order online with my favorite store or winery. Still, it's sad. Maybe I'll drive out to Long Island to satisfy my craving for "the haul". It wasn’t even three years ago when I returned from Sonoma with a few bottles which I carried onto the plane.
