BillsWatch Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I have been getting bottles of Champagne by hotel. I remember hearing that being in an airplane hold unpressurized can ruin it. I am not much of a Champagne drinker and certainly have no reason to drink it alone in hotel so I figured I'd bring it back on plane but with new "safety" rules you can not bring liquids on the plane. Will it be ruined in hold? I know TSA will be sampling it since they have opened my suitcase each and every time I have flew to California.

Chef Jim Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Not a problem. Champagne is sealed better than any other type of wine. However you say that TSA will sample it? If they open it they might as well sample the whole bottle because there is no way to safely reseal it for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They broke open my TSA approved lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 And I thought I was a cheap sob. If you want cheap champagne just buy some when you get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsWatch Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 I am not sure what is triggering the TSA checks. Last time I had lots of media in it, my clothes, my toiletries and not much else. This time I basically had clothes in it, my computer and my shaver. It does not make any sensw why they keep opening my suitcase. And regarding the "cheap champagne" I do not know anything about champagne and whether this is good or cheap champagne.

5 Wide Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Your clothes will smell of champagne and you will find broken shards in all your posessions.....I tried bringing back a really cool six pack I found in Vegas once and 4 bottles were broken in the process....

udonkey Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 You check your computer? Wow, thats a great way to get it broken...I would definitely carry on the computer, as well as the champagne. If they don't let you take the booze, leave it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olivier in france Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 No problem to bring it with you, only problem will be the security and/ or customs controls ... I've seen some amazing bottles finishing their lives in some US airports lavatories... Those US Customs guys can be very stupid sometimes...

I agree with the computer - that thing will be broken or stolen sooner or later if you check it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
