Wine will not light up even if you hold it up to a flamethrower...... but some agents just assume that wine is like the hard stuff and that is the crux of the issue.
The EZE security excuse is 100% bullocks....
If you have the name of the agent or something, do PM me as I know the senior management at Delta here in Buenos Aires and I would love to take this up with them.
Good for you for escalating this to a supervisor... ^
Wish I had the name of the gentleman who was working the DL checkin
however the supervisor (older lady) agreed with him but said that she would try the workaround..... It worked out in the end but I was happy I didn't show up with a 3rd case (am just opening up the first bottle tonight).
