Wrap it up: Start by swaddling your wine bottle in bubble wrap or a padded wine sleeve. This will provide a cushion against impact and prevent any unfortunate accidents. Sock it to 'em: For an extra layer of protection, slip the wrapped bottle into a thick sock or a piece of clothing. This adds cushioning and prevents the bottles from clinking together if you're packing more than one. Nestle it in: When placing the bottle in your suitcase, position it in the center, surrounded by soft items like clothes, towels, or even a travel pillow. These items will act as shock absorbers, further safeguarding your wine. Consider a wine carrier: If you're a frequent wine traveler, investing in a specially designed wine carrier, like the Vinarmour Wine Carrier, can offer unparalleled protection, style, and peace of mind. Go hard-shell: For maximum protection, opt for a hard-shell suitcase. The rigid exterior can better withstand impacts, keeping your wine bottles safe from harm.
