Just an update on how well the 10 bottles of Fat Tire Beer and the two bottles of wine from Joseph Filippi Winery that I sent home yesterday in my checked luggage: everything made it fine! One advisory, though: A bottle of wine is supposed to be wrapped in bubble wrap if you send it in your checked luggage. Southwest almost charged me $5 per wine bottle for the trouble (no need for the beer, since the taped-up box was secure enough to keep beer from broken bottles from leaking everywhere). But the counter people decided that my bottle-inside-towel-inside-plastic-bag was probably secure enough that nothing further was needed.

Woah, didn't expect them to actualy tell you how exactly you're supposed to wrap the bottles. I wonder who thought of that.
Awesome. Glad everything made it through without issue.
Several years ago, I brought two bottles of Washington State wine from Seattle. I wrapped them securely in dirty laundry and placed them in the middle of my large suitcase. Some jerk decided to break into my luggage by slashing it with a knife, but lucky for me found only dirty clothing. Even with the giant rip in my case, the bottles made it home safely.
