HAVE WINE, WILL TRAVEL
New travel bag, Wine Mummy, offers consumers an affordable solution to transport wine and spirits in checked luggage
TORRANCE, CA - February 11, 2008 -- Developed in response to the Transportation Safety Administrations (TSA) restrictions on
liquids in carry-on luggage, Vino Amici today announced the introduction of Wine Mummy a padded, zip-sealed travel bag designed
to protect bottles when transported inside checked luggage.
According to a recent study from Travel Industry Association, wine-related travel is on the rise, with 27 million Americans
engaged in wine-related activities during their travels. However, transporting wine on-board flights to and from home remains
a big challenge.
The Wine Mummy, a durable double layer polybag with layers of bubble padding, will hold a 750ml wine, spirit or champagne
bottle. Unlike other expensive and bulky carriers, Wine Mummy's compact size can easily be stored inside suitcases of all
sizes. Wine Mummy dimensions are: 17" H x 7" W. The sleek and attractive black and gold packaging can also be re-used as
a gift bag.
"So many people have stories about placing their treasured wine purchases in their luggage, wrapping them in t-shirts, socks
and plastic bags, and hoping for the best," says co-creator Brett Wooldridge, Vino Amici. "Wine Mummy is a cost-effective
solution for consumers who want that extra peace of mind."
Wooldridge and his partners created Wine Mummy after his own travels to a wine tasting festival left him feeling uneasy about
packing his wine purchases in his suitcase for fear of ruined clothing and luggage.
Wine Mummy is currently available for M.S.R.P $4.95. For more information, or to place an order, visit www.winemummy.com,
The site offers either single orders for individuals or large volume purchases for companies who wish to customize it with
their company logo, which can be added at no additional cost for large orders.
