How To Pack Liquor in Your Luggage

A hand-blown wine glass of wine

When traveling, you’ll often discover unique beers, wines, or liquors you’ll want to bring home. But how can you ensure the safety of these boozy souvenirs while flying back home?

The size of your purchase is an essential consideration when traveling by air. If it’s heavier than 3.4 ounces, it’ll have to go into your checked luggage, where it’ll be vulnerable to being damaged in transit.

Here’s how you can pack your liquor properly to be able to enjoy it in your fancy wine glass at home:

Don’t carry open bottles

While it can be tempting to bring a bottle you’ve already opened, it’s best to leave it behind. Even if you reseal the bottle, there’s no surety that it’s completely secured. While the top might be closed, it has the potential to come loose and open up after the seal has been broken.

Gather the essentials

If you’re planning on taking some booze to or from your trip, it’s important to pack the proper materials along with the rest of your essentials. Use bubble wrap, plastic bags, or trash bags to avoid breaking your precious cargo. You can even take large socks to wrap around your bottles to keep them safe! Make sure that you cover everything with a large plastic bag to avoid any leaks in case the bottles still end up breaking.

Use tape

Painter’s tape can help you secure the bottle from the bottom to the top. It provides a great, airtight seal that’s easy to take off without affecting the label.

Pad the suitcase

If you place your bottles right against the edges of your suitcase, there’s a higher chance of them breaking when your luggage gets tossed around by handlers. Pad the sides of the suitcase with magazines, books, and layers of soft clothing before placing the bottles in the middle. Make sure it’s a snug fit, so the bottles don’t roll around inside!
