Wine airway transfer ?

[boaziko]

How do you deal with BYO wine bottles, you wish to take to an overseas meal ?

(Taking into account that wine should rest for a few weeks rather than suffer from Jet-lag.)

Do you carry it with you (as hand luggage), send it in advance?

I carry it as hand luggage. It's easy to carry a six bottle box on the plane. Recently we were in Paris and someone bought a case of wine and he got a styrofoam mailer and just checked the wine with his baggage. Where are you going and how much wine are you bringing?

[boaziko]

First to Europe, later to NYC.

So you carry your wines (hand luggage) and drink it "upon" arrival?

I'll carry 3-6 bottles (of Israeli wine) and I'm not alone so it could easily go in 2 hand bags.
