As for the cardboard shippers, the only ones that work are the ones that have styrofoam inserts... if they are only hardboard, I would not trust them to hold wine safely. Your best bet is to buy proper Wine Styro Carriers and just use that box as another suitcase.

Please feel free to PM or email me directly and I can provide more details.
