I'm Anthony Dias Blue with today’s Blue Lifestyle Minute.

Leak-proof your wine travel.

If you’re a frequent traveler, you know that every penny adds up. Even an expense-paid trip can rack up a bill. So cut costs wherever you can. Bring your own wine. I’m not talking about running to a grocery store every time you land someplace new. I’m talking about leak-proof wine travel.

WineSkin is built with a tough vinyl exterior and a bubble-pack interior. Slide your wine bottle into the skin, peel the adhesive, and seal. Throw, thrash and bang your luggage, and still rest assured that your wine bottle – and clothes – will have been transported safely. The shock-absorption makes moving your wines from place to place simple. A 3-pack of WineSkin can be found at your local beverage retail store for $10. It’s more affordable than restoring your travel items, and much cheaper than shipping. Enjoy the perks of affordable, instantaneous gratification. For more information, please visit www.WineSkin.net.

Our good friends (and WineSkin retailers!) at Harmony Cellars recently traveled from their beautiful estate to Australia with a wonderful Riesling in their checked luggage - packed with (what else?) WineSkin.

Imagine their horror upon arrival to discover that their bottle had been broken by baggage handling sometime during the flight — but WineSkin was there to save the day - not a single drop leaked!

The BAD NEWS...this lovely bottle of Riesling broke during a 13 hour flight to Australia. The GOOD NEWS...not a DROP leaked out of the bag into the suitcase! Yay for WineSkins.....and yes, we carry them in the tasting room:)

Thanks to Harmony Cellars for allowing us to tell their story.

WineSkin recently received a tremendous mention at the high-traffic / high-concept gear site Werd.com. The "stuff you've gotta have" portal which serves as a tastemaker among the elite of today and tomorrow selected WineSkin as a recent recommended buy:

Instead of bringing back a duffle bag full of purple clothes from your trip to Argentina’s wine country, the WineSkin will ensure you bring back those gift bottles of vino intact. Designed to protect and seal bottles for transport, the WineSkin works much better than wrapping those luscious bottles of Malbec in your sweaters and crossing your fingers.

Canada's Wine Magazine Wine Access recently published their "Fill a Wine Lover's Stocking" article and included a recommendation for WineSkin:

Any wine lover that travels will appreciate a WineSkin or two tucked into a stocking; the padded bubble protection tightly seals around each bottle, providing a safe way to bring back favourite bottles in your suitcases.

WineSkin received a solid recommendation from The New York Times' Frugal Traveler column by Seth Kugel, as part of their Holiday Gift Guide 2010:

There’s no gift quite so great — or quite so terrible — to bring back from a trip as a bottle of malbec from Argentina or a sangiovese from Tuscany or Champagne from, er, Champagne. Great because it’s impossible not to like and shows that you went out of your way to lug it back. Terrible because you spend your trip fearing that it’ll break in your bag and ruin whatever sweater you wrapped it in, along with the rest of your clothes. These bottle-shaped sleeves are both padded with bubble protection to prevent breaking, and, in the event of a particularly brusque baggage handler, sealed so that if the bottle does break, the damage is limited to the gift. And though it’s not specified, I’m betting it would work just as well for a similarly shaped bottle of Barbadian rum or Russian vodka or Scotch whisky, should your taste for liquor run in a different direction.
