If you have an office and go through a lot of laser cartridges, most of them come with a very thick long bubble wrap. I save them and can put a bottle of wine in it and dirty clothes around it. It works!!!

As a wine enthusiast and a flight attendant I know this is a horrible idea. Sure, YOU will be responsible and savor your beverage but what about the everyman who will abuse this and use it as a cheap way to get drunk on the plane (think about that chatty person sitting next to you, would you like it if they were half in the bag the whole flight?). Also, with all that stale air and crowded space, the plane does not sound like my ideal place to enjoy a fine wine. What a waste. As someone who cares for your saftey, the saftey of the flight, and the preciousness of your bottle, all I can say is HELL NO!!!

I don’t think this is problem that needs a lot of attention. As stated by other commenters, it should be possible to survive a few hours without good wine.

So I do now regularly take both 50 ml sample bottles I get from Vinquiry as well as Tasting Room..com samples. I have pushed the limit a few times and in small airports like Kansas City had some take from me if more than one of the baggies.
I generally order one of the shitty $8 airline selections (every now and then there is something decent..) its f***ing criminal how airlines markup this plonk 500+% btw, and then pour myself. The one time I asked permission I got yelled at, and I did get spotted once and read the riot act at deboarding, but generally am discrete.

I’d drink beer instead, but they also only serve swill there as well, and I don’t do hard liquor.

Unfortunately, because of a few bad eggs, I can see why airlines wouldn’t embrace allowing people to pour for themselves, but don’t get why the ‘ask permission’ part is such an issue. and I don’t get why it would be that hard to make better wine available.
It hard enough being locked in one of these damn metal tubes 2-4x a week, with travel amateurs, screaming babies, or a coworker!

I occasionally bring small liquor bottles (less than 3 oz) on a long flight. I’ve never had any problem with TSA as long as I put them in the required “quart-sized plastic, zip-top bag.” However, one time a stewardess yelled at me for pouring my own liquor into my own soda on the plane. Ridiculous! I’m well over 21 years old. ~Andrea

[...] Have you ever been itching to carry a bottle of Petrus and a can of Red Bull on a plane? Thanks to researchers at UC Davis, that might be possible. (However, as we discussed previously, don’t think you’ll be allowed to openly serve yourself the Petrus on board.) [...]

What if there were a corkage fee and the F/A poured your wine for you? Wouldn’t that be a decent go around for the whole “pouring it yourself” controversy?

There are no liquid restrictions domestically in Australia either. I carried 9 bottles of wine, a bottle of port and a 1L bottle of water onto an Australian domestic flight within the last year with no issues whatsoever.

as a native bay arean – turned new yorker who then moved abroad first to wine-honoring tokyo then to wine market – centric london (after having both worked in the trade and studied wine closely), i feel it’s my duty, my obligation, . . . much as a missionary spreads the word, . . . to bring novel wine to the uninitiated and then, likewise to return with the best souvenir to be shared among family and friends that best which encapsulates both the place and the people.

wine-soaked clothes and/or incriminating wine paraphernalia can be replaced but that heart-fluttering moment in time when all the natural elements coalesce and the universe is aligned just can’t!

I brought a backpack full of sangiovese juice cartons from Rome to NYC for Chairman Grieco & Juliette The Pope. Ofc I was stopped by security but that’s just bc I must have seemed shifty to the Romans.

Salut!
