If I check in my luggage and have a handle inside would they care? Because it doesn’t say my age or anything on it and it’s not like it’s in my carry on bag. Or would it be better if i just put it in water bottles?
a handle? If it’s in your CHECKED luggage it’s perfectly fine. Don’t put the wine in a water bottle for 2 reasons; 1-it will ruin the wine taste and 2-it will raise suspicion of tsa inspectors! just a reminder, carryon liquids limited to approx 3 oz.
Visit the Transportation Safety Administration’s Web site,, for restrictions on carry-on luggage. All liquids are limited to 3 oz. and must be able to fit in a 1-quart zipper-top bag. I suspect your vino won’t fit. Wrap it securely in multiple layers of plastic, cushion it with your clothes and check it in your luggage. Then hope the TSA luggage inspector isn’t thirsty should your bag be selected for a hand-check of its contents!
