dougalsgirl Posted February 28, 2025 Report Posted February 28, 2025 Hello, We’re visiting some European Ports that have excellent wines/liqueurs (and at a much cheaper cost than at home!) and we might be interested in bringing some home. I understand you check it in with security when you re-board from your port. My question is, how much hassle is there getting it from security when the time comes to disembark? Thanks in advance!

SPS Posted February 28, 2025 Report Posted February 28, 2025 Stateroom attendant delivers it on the last night. FYI: These are handy for transporting them home if you need to put them in checked luggage. We brought home a bottle of wine and a bottle of bourbon safely with them.

dougalsgirl Posted February 28, 2025 Author Report Posted February 28, 2025 This is amazing!! Thank you all so much! Quote
ChessE4 Posted February 28, 2025 Report Posted February 28, 2025 You can buy a blow-up plastic container to pack bottle in suitcase. I have used that before. Quote
FionaMG Posted February 28, 2025 Report Posted February 28, 2025 Just be mindful of the additional weight in your bags. I fairly recently witnessed a chap dump several bottles of wine in the bin at check-in because he was badly overweight! Given how cheaply you can buy even very good wine here, the excess baggage fees were going to cost him more than he paid for the wine! TessFromFlorida 1 Quote
Pooch Posted February 28, 2025 Report Posted February 28, 2025 I think our last cruise we had 6 bottles of liquor in our suitcases. Bubble wrap and dirty laundry. Got it all home intact Floski 1 Quote

But I must confess tee shirts did an admirable job of protecting 3 bottles of Whatley Rum in our carry on one trip. I always tote spirits in the carry on in case we win the random CBP "follow me" lottery at disembarkation. Pooch 1 Quote
bcarney Posted March 8, 2025 Report Posted March 8, 2025 I picked up one of these (the 12 bottle), and it's a surprisingly nice piece of luggage, very flexible, you can put clothing in it as well if you don't need the room for all the bottles. Has brought home many bottles of Caribbean rum!https://vingardevalise.com/collections/vingardevalise-wine-travel-suitcase TessFromFlorida and bobroo 1 1 Quote
