I will be traveling with some friends who are concerned of carrying a bottle of wine in the carry-on luggage, due to the weight, and would like to put the wine into a plastic container, which weighs much less. Any ideas if this would be allowed? Thanks. Oops! Edited May 16, 2023 by PacnGoNow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a plane. For a discussion about wine on planes, you would have to go to Flight Critic, not Cruise Critic. Oops! I read it as airline too! My bad!

Rare BamaVol Posted May 16, 2023 #28 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I admit I was skeptical. So I put an empty wine bottle on the kitchen scale. It came in at a hair under 19 ounces. I think it said 511 grams when I looked at metric. That is more significant than I thought. I don’t know the weight of the intended plastic container, but a plastic 1 liter water bottle would surely be no more than a few ounces. So, weight savings is possibly a pound. Depending on how much you struggle to lift and carry a bag, it could be meaningful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not concerned that the bottle will break.... I said that I will be traveling with some people who have difficulty with their carry-on luggage due to the weight of the luggage....without any bottle. They would like to be able to bring a bottle of wine on board, which is allowed on Princess, in their carry-on, but the bottle adds excess weight, along with the wine. If they could bring the wine in a plastic container, the weight would not be as much. All of this is mute because one of the first responders mentioned that the wine has to be sealed in the original container. Thank you all for your responses, even those of you who found it necessary to be nasty in your response, but I think this has been answered. Just weighed my suitcase with 2 bottles & 2 books ... none of which will come off ship. 31.7 lbs. 21 lbs w/o wine & books. So yeah it adds up. I'm using this picked up at Total Wine. Rather inexpensive and reusable https://www.totalwine.com/accessories-more/gift-supplies/gift-bags/wine-skin-2pk/p/108190920 Edited May 27, 2023 by Ombud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it now, someone drinking it from a paper bag during the show. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
