VinGardeValise® Grande Wine Suitcase – 12-Bottle Travel Luggage, TSA-Approved, Durable Hard Shell, Shockproof Foam, Secure Bottle Protection for Enthusiasts & Collectors

Amazing piece and something any serious collector or wine enthusiast should add to their luggage wardrobe. Full transparency before I continue. About a decade ago, I had the fortunate luck of meeting the founders at a wine event when they were just getting started and looking for funding. Back then I knew they had a winner. At the time I wanted it but didn't really have the need. That said, now i have the need. They put A LOT of thought into the design.I purchased this for a trip to Spain which I just returned from a few days ago. I wanted to purchase and bring back wines that were more exclusive and not available in the US. The mission was successful. The suitcase was even able to handle odd shaped bottles, as I brought back some Cava and all the bottles held up without issues. The suitcase arrives with foam cutouts 6 & 6 on each side as well as extra pads. The inside also includes straps to secure each side as well as external straps. No issues with TSA, not a scratch on the bag and not a single bottle broke or was damaged. My only suggestion is metal instead of plastic closures for the outside straps. Aside from that - it's a Fantastic Investment - No Regrets

It is a pleasure spending money on something that is well made, does what it is supposed to and looks good doing it.This is my new favorite suitcase that gives me the option of traveling with wine or not. Why wouldn't I travel with wine??? The point is I like it a lot and and feel I got a lot of value for my money.The only thing I would improve is a way to keep the straps more tidy when it's time to open it. I would gladly buy an accessory of some type to keep the straps neat when the suitcase is opened. To be clear, I am that person that does not understand why my favorite designers have not developed a belt that does not have to be removed while clearing security at airports so let's add this to the universe suggestion box and keep waiting.

Wonderful. Elegant, comfortable. Perfect for wines. Just be careful some wines are heavy and you can end up with more pound that allowed by airlines. Other than that is perfect

Great case - several successful trips both full of wine and partially full with clothes. Straps are terrible - easily come unsnapped and snap on both straps are now broken. Disappointed they use such cheap straps on such a great suitcase.

Used it for a trip to Napa for the first time. While visiting what I would call "high end" wineries, I saw this wine suitcase in more than one winery. The only difference was they were about $20 more and branded near the handle with the winery name. Seeing them at these places gave me more faith in how it may work out. We packed it up full as you an see from the picture. I saw this suite case roll multiple times down the luggage carrousel and cringed. But was pleasantly surprised to see nothing was damaged. If you are looking for a wine case for air travel this is way better than our old "Wine Check" that uses a box. It is way easier to move through the airport and parking lot.

This rating is for the customer service the company provides after purchase. The suitcase has great internal forms for wine bottles and certainly met our needs. However, after the first use, upon claiming at baggage, we noticed one of the feet was broken off the side of the suitcase. The airline refused to pay for repair or replacement so we reached out to see if we could pay for a replacement part directly from the company. We contacted the company, initially online, via their customer service contact form then, after receiving no response for two days, with a phone call to the number on their website. Their customer service number only allows for a message to be left. That has been ignored as well. Really disappointing after spending so much on a specialty suitcase.EDIT: After WEEKS of back and forth with customer service (misnomer) we still have the wrong parts to repair our suitcase that broke after the first use. Exterior is not a structurally sound built suitcase.

Brought 10 bottles back from overseas with no issue whatsoever. Held up great. I didn’t realize the individual wine paddings are interchangeable/upgradable which is a nice plus.

Suitcase is exactly what we are looking for, sturdy, safe for traveling with wine. One thing we noted, trying to register the suitcase for warranty, the company is out of business, so hopefully we won’t have any warranty issues.
