Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Yesterday, NPR's All Things Considered featured a story about how current restrictions on flying with liquids is affecting Napa Valley tourists and wineries. Obviously, it's common to bring some wine back from the wineries you visit, but not being able to carry those bottles on-board a plane is posing a problem that has many wineries worried. The situation is especially troubling to small wineries that rely on sales directly to visitors, as opposed to distributors. Checking glass of any kind in one's luggage is a scary prospect, of course. So, some wineries are offering styrofoam wine carriers that they hope will protect checked wine. Others are offering free shipping on large enough purchases. The styrofoam box pictured here comes from Uline Shipping Supplies.

How to Throw a Dim Sum Party
8-19-2006 @6:10PM cybele said... I did wine as a checked item of luggage one year for the holidays. It was a little box that held two bottles and it did just fine. The box held up well enough the may father ended up using it to send me something later for my birthday.
As for having a winery ship it to you, that's a little difficult for some residents. States like PA don't let wineries ship to customers. The way around that is to buy the wine at the winery and then ship it to yourself. On my recent vacation I even noticed a shipping place in Healdsburg, CA (Sonoma Co.) that advertised wine shipping. The trick is making sure you're home to receive it if the weather is a little dodgy on the other end.
