Wine luggage can be simple or elaborate, soft or hard shell, and can resemble regular luggage. Hard cases offer the most protection and can carry up to 8-10 bottles. Smaller versions are meant for short trips and may offer minimal protection. Wine cases can also be used but are heavier and bulkier.
Wine luggage is any container designed for carrying wine while travelling. These containers can range from very simple and small bottle holders, to more elaborate pouches or boxes that securely hold multiple bottles. Wine luggage can be either a soft shell or a hard shell, and the cost of such luggage varies based on size, materials, and function. Some varieties of this type of luggage look very similar to regular luggage. They can be fitted with telescopic handles and wheels for transport through airports, train stations, hotel lobbies and so on, and can be fitted with extra pockets for items other than wine bottles.
Perhaps the most expensive version of the wine luggage is the hard case. This sturdy plastic case features thick padded foam cells inside the hard shell to stabilize the bottles. The hard shell will protect the bottles from external impacts and the foam will keep the bottles from banging around and potentially getting damaged. This type of wine luggage often includes a removable or hinged lid to allow easy access to the bottles. Since this type of luggage is likely to be heavier than other types of wine luggage, the plastic shell is often mounted on wheels and a telescoping handle allows the user to pull the unit behind them for easy transport. This type of luggage is very likely to keep wine bottles safe and unharmed in transit. Some models can carry up to eight or ten bottles at once.
Some smaller wine luggage offerings may only fit one or two bottles and a glass of wine. This style is meant more for short trips like picnics or trips to friends’ houses. The protection offered by this type of luggage is usually quite minimal, but it helps to make the transport of bottles and glass much easier. Some smaller versions of wine cases offer more protection by using thicker materials or harder materials. The units can still hold one to three bottles, and maybe even a wine glass, but unlike other less expensive versions, these versions can be stored in an overhead compartment without risking damaging the bottles.
A wine case can also be used as wine luggage, although this tends to be a heavier and bulkier option. Wine cases are often made from wood and are quite difficult to move around easily. However, they will offer the most protection to the bottles and the damage to the bottles inside is fairly minimal.
