I have a get together next month in another state and like I'm sure most of you, I'm the go to wine guy. Seeing how I have my own wine to contribute now, I'd like to bring it with me. I try to fly Southwest Airline any chance I can. I think they are the best airline out there and they allow two checked bags for free, if they meet their 62 inch total dimensions L+H+W and weighs < 50 lbs. I had this plastic trunk that was being used as a storage bin. It is plastic, light weight and has wheels.
With the weight of a bottle of wine, and the weight of the carrier, I targeted fitting 12 bottles into the bin. Getting foam out of the recycle bin at work, I glued the pieces together and cut out the shape of the bottle. There is also a 1 1/2 inch top piece that keeps everything snug. Total dimensions 62, weight with a case of wine, 47 lbs. Looks like it will work.
