Abstract: A container, such as a suitcase, can be used to safely and securely transport bottles, such as wine bottles. The suitcase can open about a central longitudinal axis to provide top open suitcase halves, where one or both of the halves can include a foam insert with receptacles for the placement of bottles therein. The foam can support and separate the bottles so that breakage is minimized or eliminated during transport. A lid, a strap, or both, may be provided to cover at least the receptacles. In some cases, a tunnel may be formed into the foam, extending from one end of the receptacle, for insertion of a neck portion of the bottle therein, thereby further supporting the bottle in the foam. The foam can fit snugly into each half of the suitcase and the number of bottles may be dependent upon user needs and/or size of the suitcase.
