New Travel Bag Is An Affordable Holiday Gift For Travelers and Wine Lovers

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 16, 2008 – TORRANCE, CA -  Looking for an affordable gift for someone who travels a lot and loves wine? Developed in response to the Transportation Safety Administrations (TSA) restrictions on liquids in carry-on luggage, Wine Mummy is 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 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 used as a gift bag for a bottle of wine.

“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, or in multi-packs of 2 for $9.75, 3 for $14.50 and 5 for $19.95.  For more information, or to place an order, visit www.winemummy.com,  The site offers either single orders for individuals, or bulk orders for companies who wish to customize the bag with their company logo.
