Wine Check Black + IWA Logo -- Bag Only #7742

Bought without the Styrofoam insert, we have many different wine shipping boxes that appeared would fit, but it was a struggle. Did make it work, probably would have been easier with the insert, but it seemed unnecessary based on what we had. Should be a great travel bag, looking forward to using it!

Purchased bag only. Had no problem using a box I already had. It’s perfect for traveling. Wish I had bought one years ago.

Bought this to making travel a little easier when we are taking wine. Make sure you buy the one that has the holder in it for the wine.

Agree with Barry. This thing does not fit the box size it has on the label. Spent 20 minutes trying to jam it in the bag with a manager at the largest wine store in Los Angeles. We were dumbfounded. The wheel base takes up too much space so I had to damage the box's corners to make the box fit.

Thank you for your feedback. We sell hundreds of Wine Checks, both as "bag only" and "complete sets", which also include the box and styrofoam insert. We definitely recommend purchasing the set If you are concerned about finding the right box and styrofoam insert - the item number is #7743. In our complete sets, everything fits together beautifully.

this will be a great to bring back wine vs, have to have it shipped. I saw a person with this in the airport and had to have it!!

Note-haven't used it to fly with yet. Anything changes post upcoming Sonoma trip, will update.
With the large number of boxes, I had at hand, from various venues, my least favorite box was the only one that would fit (wine.com). I *much* prefer the case boxes with pressed form paper inserts from vivino/last bottle but could not fit this bag over any other boxes. Would highly recommend the vendor research current box sizes for better fit on wider range.
3-star rationale: doesn't fit variety of boxes, but description states it will (used vendor specs before ordering, my favorite box meets specs, but didn't fit bag). Substandard wheels & needs better handle engineering.

This is a great bag, I am really happy that I purchased. Easily survived several airline trips / transfers with wine and bag in perfect condition. Typically I just ship wine back when I travel, but that can be a hassle and I wanted a better option to transport wine and this is it.

After struggling home from CA Wine Country with 2 wine shippers held together with packing tape and handles made out of duct tape, I knew there had to be a better way to fly with wine. Product is exactly as described. One of our cardboard shipper boxes fits perfectly. Can't wait to try it out on next trip to Wine Country.

This wine case carrier worked perfectly on a recent flight. Relatively easy to maneuver. Used a styrofoam insert and box from winery. For return flight I tied a cord around the empty case to flatten as much as possible and stuck it in the overhead bin. Great way to bring wine to share at family events and vacations when flying.

Checked our wine from Burgundy on a direct flight, and it arrived safely and soundly and came in at 48 pounds with 12 standard bottles. you'd probably be overweight if you had a magnum in there. Anyway, this is a far superior option to checking a box and attempting to lug that around. the handle and the wheels make traveling with the wine so much easier. Docking one star for the pulling handle- it could be a little longer and potentially attached on the sides for easier maneuvering.

You cannot rush with this thing. you basically have to pull it by your side, and low to the ground. Perhaps because it was quite heavy for me fully loaded, but just keep in mind that if you're trying to run around a train station you might find this bag difficult to maneuver. but it was perfect at the price point for what we needed. Would definitely recommend.

The product seems well-built and sturdy. It is also not too heavy without the wine box. I anticipate this will work well for our return trip home from Italian wine region.

Living in Walla Walla WA, we are blessed with more than 150 wineries. Add to this the fact that the only air carrier that serves Walla Walla offers free shipping on up to a case of wine a person to encourage those visiting and living here to take wine with them wherever they go. With our new 12 bottle wine tote, we can do just that. It really helps when schlepping other suit cases as well. Add to that the ability to discard the recyclable box and inserts when returning home and folding the case away in another suit case and we're delighted. So we're sold on this product!

Great product. Nice quality. It will be a welcome upgrade to traveling with cases of wine.

Great bag. Bought two of them. Just took two cases of wine to BVIs for friend's 40th. Made it there and back like a charm. easily made it through airports/customs etc. Used with a ULINE wine shipper insert. Highly recommended.

When I travel to wine country, it is great to be able to bring back wine from my trip. Checking this bag is far less expensive than the shipping charged by wineries. The bag pays for itself after 2 uses! I rate this four stars for now and after a few years when I can truly rate the durability, I might change it to five stars
