I bring beer from Wisconsin home all the time. (you cannot get New Glarus outside of WI, and I miss my Spotted Cow!) Buy a pack of extra padded athletic socks, put each bottle in a sock. You'll need at least a 1 gallon zip lock bag. Put the sock and bottle into the ziplock. For best results wrap a shirt around each one and place in the middle of a suitcase. Don't forget to jam a bottle in a pair of sneakers.

If they can survive Delta, United, and US Airways through terminal F, they stand at least a 25% chance of getting where you want them to.
