wineskin - how to pack wine in your checked luggage

[IreneLF]

I've seen threads on how people pack wine, wrapped in towels, etc., and check it in their luggage and thought you might want to know about this safer way to do so.

I saw something called Wineskin - it's a bubble wrap lined plastic sleeve to slip a bottle in.
The things that got me is, if the bottle should break, a water tight seal keeps all liquid contained in the wineskin. Looks great to me -- you can get 5 for a reasonable price and you can reuse them up to 3 times each.

I just saw these for sale in the latest Magellan catalog. Wondering if anyone has ever used one, and if so, how did you like it?

I used to be the designated sommelier at Thanksgiving, but with the new restrictions, I have had to reliquish that title the past couple of years (we live in Boston and spend Thanksgiving in Chicago with my in laws). I'd love to be able to check a nice bottle of Riesling next time!
