I went for my first wine tour in Sonoma last week. I was so excited but sad at the same time knowing I would not be able to bring back some exciting wine home.

I always travel with my bright and yellow backpack and it’s not the best mean to transport fragile products.

While I was visiting the Ravenswood winery though, I found the WineSkin for sale in a basket. For only $2 a piece, it’s the perfect solution for bringing back bottles without being afraid of ruining whatever else is in your luggage and keeping everything secure.

I tried it on my way back to Montreal with two 750ml bottles tucked in between my clothes in my bag and everything went smoothly.

This is a single-time use product but since it does not seem to be available in Canada for now, I simply cut the seal area to remove my bottles and plan to use it upside down in the future.
