I've just never bought wine at duty-free - I can't imagine they have the best storage of the wine in the back room, and pricing is likely not desirable, but taking bottles on the plane is a good idea.

I've done the spray foam in boxes before as well, but it's more difficult to do with 12 bottles, which is what The Wine Check holds. it's the BEST way to ship, though - all wrapped and protected by that foam insulation. Anything really high end that is shipped should go this way
