I've never lost a bottle. If you plan on purchasing multiple bottles, I have one of these >

The link provided is just a canvas wheely that holds a shipper. The shippers come in 2/4/6/12 bottle formats. Just use the styrofoam shipper in the cardboard box form and check with baggage as normal. Some airlines may want to open to inspect. I'm an Importer and use them all the time to bring home samples. No issues with Champagne or any Sparkling wine as well. Good luck..
