Hi, Jet2K. VS will certainly let you check in wine within the limits of your baggage entitlement. For UC that is: Three pieces of luggage per passenger, each weighing up to 32kg (70lbs). When added together, the three dimensions of any piece of luggage must not exceed 158cm (62in). Whether you would be wise to depends on how well you can pack them to withstand the rigours of handlers and airport handling systems, which will probably be beyond any control by Virgin.

It must be very special wine if you are going to hawk it all the way back across the Atlantic. Unless it's something that you really can't get in the States I'd be tempted to have a party the night before you fly. Give me a call - I'd consider coming over to help you!
