I went to Home Depot, and for under seven bucks you can get a ten foot piece of 4 inch pvc drain pipe

If you don't have a saw at home, bring it over to the moulding section, measure and cut off a 1 foot long section, and repeat until you have ten pieces of pipe.

A wine bottle fits perfectly inside (even pinot and champagne). You can fill them with your clothing on the trip out, or just buy it there.

I've been using it for years and never had a problem. The stuff is pretty indestructible unless you freeze it in liquid notrogen and hit it with a sledge hammer.

When put in a suitcase, it doesn't scream "somebody steal me, I'm a case of wine" as it's spinning around in the luggage area.
