Pelican hard cases are great (although heavy and expensive). Wineskins are great for a couple of bottles. Hope we can carry on wine, soon! Happy wine travels!!!

I am planning on bringing ~24 bottles of wine with me to Japan, and I would like to make sure I am fully prepared.

Also any tips with bringing this wine with me via check in baggage?

Thanks!
-Mike

thank you for your answer, considering the price being around 50 to 60 € a bottle i think that even if they charge me 13 USD per bottle it’s still fine.
Or does anyone thinks the tax may change depending on the bottle ?
thanks

On recent experience, it was approx 100RMB per bottle = USD approx $13 per bottle

I was just wondering if anyone has had any problems taking wine to China.
I’m going to China in March and was hoping to take some wine as a gift for the accommodation.
Does anyone know if it’s a bad idea or if it will be confiscated ?

thanks

I’m glad United treated your wine well. Now if they’d just stop hating on guitars!

I used several of them coming home from Washington a couple of years ago and they work great. They also seem to be increasingly easy to find at wine shops, and a lot of tasting rooms carry them now. I’ve never had a problem with checking wine, not even when I checked a mixed case on a flight home from France. I checked an empty styrofoam-insert box on the trip over, in those long-ago days (circa 3 years ago) of no baggage fees.

Best of all, there was a hassle with the luggage so it got delivered to our house the next day, with no trip through customs!
