you can buy the wine of the day from wtso. if you buy 12, you will get a great shipping carton and inserts along with the wine. most wines in decent bottles go over 50 lbs for a 12 pack.

1. remove the wine purchased from wts0.
2.put 10 or11 bottles of michigan wines in the box.
3.tape the box up
4.put the box into a maxi roller(64")
5.no additional cushioning needed
6.when you check in, tell the GA what you have.
7. confirm the under 50lb limit.

i have bought at least 1 case a week from these guys for a year or two, and have yet to loose a bottle.

i have carried quite a number of cases from dca to dfw.
the big roller is easy to handle.
