With airline safety regulations now prohibiting you from carrying wine onto the plane, it's more difficult to get your wine home after a trip to the wine country. There are a few solutions, however. The first is WineSkins. These are sealable pouches, made specifically for bottles of wine, that fit inside your luggage.
The second possibility is to use a shipping company. In the Russian River area, there's a company called Wine Country Shipping, that will even pick up from your hotel room and ship back home for you. Or use one of the overnight shippings companies.
The third is to have the winery ship it home for you, but this probably only makes sense if buying more than a few bottles.
