DOTPRO Bottle Bubble Cushion Wrap | Wine Protector | Wrap Sleeves Cushioning Bubble Pack | Glass Travel Airline | Transport Bags | Air Fillable Column | Sleeve Best to Protect Bottle (20)

I did not get paid for this review and I paid full price for the product.In the order of the pictures:1) When you get the product, you may be really confused with the way it shows up. I expected it to be pre-inflated like bubble wrap, and I was immediately skeptical.2) The video online tells you to use a hand pump for balloons. I tried doing some of these with a deconstructed BIC pen but quickly switched to a bike pump which was a huge time and lung saver. (I think this picture somehow got moved to the end)3) I pre-inflated a lot of the bags which made the “assembly line” much more efficient, but you’ll want to save some of these to inflate until you have the bottle inside of the bag (see next picture)4) For bottles that are not standard sized wine bottles or 750ml tall liquor bottles, you cannot insert them into the bag when it is fully inflated (think about all the short, fat bottles like a bottle of Hendricks Gin). For these bottles, I put them into the bag before it was inflated and then pumped them up. It doesn’t give them perfect protection but it’s plenty effective if you supplement it with some packing material or pack it strategically in the box.5) I had always been a fan of WineSkin (sorry if anyone from WineSkin is out there reading this. Your product is super convenient and much more puncture resistant) but you can see in this photo that the inflatable protector gives a lot more volume protection to the bottles. I’m sure both of them work equally but I feel more confident with the inflatable protection and the bottom of the bottles are certainly more protected with the DOTPRO. I also put a Coors Light in my favorite coozie for size reference.6) The bottles stack well together and you can even put some smaller bottles (bitters, pony wine bottles, etc.) between them and it makes for a good spacer and everything seems to be well protected.7) I used the medium sized boxes from U-HAUL and could fit a dozen standard wine bottles in the box with minimal space that needed to be filled to avoid movement.I tested a couple bottles over a few nights to see how much they would deflate over time as there does not seem to be a true seal for these once they are inflated. I guess they stay puffy with some secret magic design? The deflation over a few days was negligible and the bottles seemed to be plenty protected. This was important to me as we are moving across the country and these boxes will be in a truck for 4 days.Overall I think this is a great product and I thought highly enough of it to take time to share my experience. I don’t think you would be disappointed with this.

We love to cruise and we buy wine or liquor to enjoy when we get home. TSA is really rough and really nosey. We have had our fair share of broken bottles and ruined clothing until we purchased these babies! We brought back Bahamian rum in December and it survived. My only complaint is that some of the cells in the bag did deflate and that they are not reusable... unless you store them inflated.

My fault for not reading the description or reading reviews as I normally do. They come as a flat bag. You then need to go to the store and buy a tire pump and figure out where the hole is to inflate them. I have had these before already inflated so I thought they would come inflated. They do not. I’m sure they would be great after I spend another $5 or $10 for a tire pump.

Used to check some wine while flying. Didn’t realize you needed to provide your own air pump and that they couldn’t be deflated and reused. I was able to blow them up with my own lung capacity, but only used them once. Better options out there for around the same amount and can be deflated and reused. Can’t recommend

Normally I get one or two duds in each other shipment from other vendors of a like product, so far none here, they work fine

Used these for wine for a trip to St. Thomas. Once you blow it up around the bottle, it's perfect for packing in your suitcase. Nothing broke or leaked!!! I wish they could de-flate so they would flatten to travel home empty but they are still worth it. Definitely can use over and over again.

Great buy! Once you figure out how to pump it’s easy peasy. Awesome to pack bottle of wine you want to package and ship. I sent from West coast to the East coast and no issues! Better than what UPS or FedEx would pack in regular bubblewrap and costs much less! This protects not only the bottle itself but other items in the package from spillage should it break in transit.

i purchased wine bottle boxes and wanted to be sure they were secure. I purchased this and they work amazingly. Great product, easy to use. Does not come with a way to inflate but i used my son's basketball pump and that worked. place the bottle inside then fill, makes for a snug fit! will definitely purchase again.
