The Trickle Down Theory

     Recently, we flew back east to see the family on Virgin America (yes, Virgin, free advertising...in return we accept free tickets, upgrades, and pretty, shiny objects) and learned something we never knew before regarding flying with wine.  A flight attendant asked what was in our rather large shipper box and we told them "lots of wine" because the closest wine store to where we were headed was about fifty miles away.  Now we always thought that the danger of putting wine in a wool sock in your suitcase was that it could easily break and you lose the wine and ruin your belongings all at once.  Nope, that's the least of your worries.  Suitcases are often stacked so if yours is on top and the wine leaks through onto all the other bags, they will actually trace it all back to your suitcase and make you pay for everyone's belongings.  She mentioned it happens fairly often and the bill can be in the thousands. 

     So, to all those customers who asked about flying with wine - we were TOTALLY kidding when we said just wrap it up in some underwear.  Get it?  Great joke.  Totally, totally, kidding.
