Packing Champagne in Checked Luggage
So, a friend of mine is getting married, and I want to take her one of those champagne bottles packaged with a couple of flutes. She lives in a place where it is difficult to get this sort of thing, so I thought I'd buy it here and fly it down. The destination is in Mexico, if that matters.
Are there issues about putting champagne in the luggage compartment. Would it explode? I assume, if I pack it well, it would not get damaged, but is there enough pressure in the cargo hold to keep it from exploding? Maybe it doesn't matter, as the bottle is very structurally sound.
Any thoughts?
