Developed in response to TSA restrictions there is a bag which has custom padding to protect wine bottles, while its liquid-tight pouches safeguard luggage contents if a bottle ever breaks -

BottleWise, maker of smart travel bags for the food and wine enthusiast, today announced the availability of BottleWise Duo, a stylish yet functional bag for safely transporting wine inside checked baggage.

Developed in response to U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) restrictions on liquids in carry-on bags, BottleWise Duo allows travelers to once again bring home that special souvenir from their wine country experience.

Featuring padded, insulated sleeves that protect up to two 750 ml bottles from bumps and temperature fluctuations, and two interior liquid-tight pouches to safeguard luggage contents in the unlikely event of breakage, BottleWise Duo's patent-pending design combines functionality with the classic look of a messenger bag, making it the perfect companion for culinary adventures.

Unlike expensive and bulky hard-sided carriers, BottleWise Duo folds flat to pack neatly in your luggage when empty and expands to a compact 9.5 H x 16.5 W x 3.5 D when transporting two bottles. This unique design also makes it a smart alternative to decorative totes, which are good for bringing wine to parties or special events, but are not safe for air travel.

The inspiration for BottleWise Duo came to company founders James and Amy Dias when, during a recent trip to Australia, a business associate gave James two bottles of wine just before his return flight to the United States.

Knowing he couldn't transport the wine in his carry-on, James wrapped the bottles in clothing, placed them in his suitcase and then spent most of the 24-hour flight worried the bottles would break in his luggage, ruining everything inside.

After researching the marketplace and talking with wine-lover friends who've had similar near misses, the Diases determined that, given today's tight carry-on policy restrictions, it has become increasingly difficult for travelers to bring home a couple bottles of new or interesting wines to share with friends.

"During the past few months we've introduced the concept of the BottleWise Duo to a lot of different people – from casual wine drinkers to the more discriminating enthusiasts – and everyone seems to have a ‘nuisance story' about traveling with wine," said Amy Dias, president of BottleWise.

"We're also getting positive feedback from wineries that see the Duo as a perfect way to boost their gift shop and wine club sales."
