If you pack your wine well, with bubble wrap, styrofoam, etc., you should be fine.

[…] Regular readers know that the 3-ounce container restriction on liquids in carry-ons is one of my “favorite” gripes. As a person who hates to check bags, I am regularly irritated when I can’t, say, bring a bottle of wine in my carry-on.

I had the same happen to me. If I only knew ahead of time. I travel for a living and had 1 bottle of beer (I collect beer). I was told that it was not allowed. I travel for a living and contract with TSA, and I knew their rules. This is the first time that I had heard of such a thing traveling with in the U.S.

I then tried to call them. Waited on the phone for 25 minutes, until the 7:00 CST hit, at which point I was hung up on. WOW!

Jasmeet –

Yes, of course. It’s perfectly legal. The list of food/drink items you CAN’T bring in from another country is pretty short. See here for the US customs rules regarding what you can’t bring in.

You were able to bring food and drink from another country into the US?
