Wine on the Move: Liz Palmer Reviews the VinGardeValise® Piccolo 5-Bottle and Grande 12-Bottle Wine Suitcases

As 2025 unfolds, I am thrilled to announce that I will explore the world of wine with the VinGardeValise® Piccolo 5-Bottle and Grande 12-Bottle Wine Suitcases.

I have had the opportunity to use both suitcases on long and short-haul flights around Europe in 2024 to test their functionality and durability, and here are some of my findings.

Firstly, I chose two sizes: the Piccolo 5-Bottle Wine Suitcase due to its convenient size as a carry-on, and the Grande 12-Bottle Wine Suitcase for long-haul flights. The VinGardeValise® Wine Suitcases are available in multiple colours, and I was fortunate to find one that perfectly matched our car, adding an extra touch of sophistication to our wine travels.

These wine suitcases are functional; they ensure that each bottle is transported safely and in style. The Piccolo 5-Bottle and Grande 12-Bottle Wine Suitcases feature sturdy exteriors and padded interiors to prevent breakage. Dedicated compartments for each bottle make packing and unpacking effortless, and there is no concern about bottles clinking together or breaking during travel.

In addition to their practicality, these suitcases add a touch of elegance to my travel gear.  I find the availability of multiple colours allows you to find a suitcase that matches your style or even your car. I found that using the Piccolo 5-Bottle Wine Suitcase for shorter trips and the Grande 12-Bottle Wine Suitcase for longer journeys provided the perfect balance of convenience and capacity.

Moreover, these wine suitcases are designed with portability in mind. They feature easy-to-carry handles and smooth-rolling wheels, making transportation a breeze. The compact design ensures they fit easily in car trunks, overhead compartments, or checked luggage spaces.

Overall, the VinGardeValise® Piccolo 5-Bottle and Grande 12-Bottle Wine Suitcases offered an excellent combination of functionality, durability, and style and I’m looking forward to using them again for my 2025 wine travels!

Wine Travel Made Easy: Lazenne Wine Suitcase Review

Protecting Your Wines on the Go

As a professional wine journalist and frequent flier, I’ve had my fair share of experiences hauling wine bottles across the globe – nothing has compared to the ease and confidence I’ve found with the Lazenne 12-bottle Wine Suitcase.

Lazenne has long been celebrated for its commitment to quality and durability, and I can now personally attest to their well-earned reputation. This suitcase was designed with both form and function in mind and has now become an indispensable part of my travel luggage, ensuring that each bottle arrives in perfect condition.

Unique Features and Benefits I Love

High-Density Foam Inserts: These inserts are a game-changer, keeping my bottles immobile and well-protected.

Temperature Resistance: The suitcase’s insulating properties give me peace of mind that my wine stays at a stable temperature, regardless of the travel conditions.

Versatility: Whether I’m carrying Champagne, Bordeaux, or unique varietals from around the world, the Lazenne accommodates all shapes and sizes, and you can use only half the suitcase for wine and the other half for clothes, and other necessities.

Sleek Design: I appreciate the modern look of the suitcase—it’s stylish and professional, perfect for a wine journalist on the go….I’m off tomorrow to visit the wine regions of Brazil!
