JetBag gets your wine home safely in checked baggage

It used to be that you could take as much alcohol as you wanted on the plane in your carry-on luggage, meaning you could take full advantage of that duty-free store or the beautiful wineries you visited during your travels. Well, since the relatively new TSA liquid regulations were set in place, your wine can no longer come with you on the plane. We know, it’s a terribly sad story. Luckily someone has realized the importance of being able to bring home several bottles of wine after a trip and invented the JetBag ($15 for 3), which will help you protect bottles of wine in your checked luggage. Theoretically, checking your wine bottles in your regular luggage shouldn’t be a problem, but with bags getting thrown around at the airport and jostled during flights, there’s always a chance you will open your suitcase to find clothes soaked in that fine Pinot Noir you picked up. The JetBag aims to avoid that terrible occurrence by providing padded protection for your wine as well as a sealed, absorbent bag just in case a bottle does break. The bag uses the same material as baby diapers to pad your wine bottle and absorb the full contents of the bottle should it break and spill. If no breakage occurs while in flight, you can use your JetBags over and over again. We’ll take three, please.

More BLUETTI Black Friday deals for home power backup and more — Save over $200

Continuing coverage of BLUETTI Black Friday deals, including one of its latest portable power stations the Elite 200 V2, we have a few more callouts worth taking a look at. Where before the main focus was home battery backup or a solid portable power option for off-grid, these deals are smaller in scope. The BLUETTI AC180 solar portable power station, for instance, features a 1,152-watt-hour capacity, which is not nearly as massive as what you get with the Elite 200 V2, but that's the point. It's manageable, has 11 outlets to power multiple devices simultaneously, and has a built-in MPPT charge controller and 500-watt solar input for fast charging via solar. It's best for use on the go or on the road, just like the BLUETTI Charger 1.

Enough about the gear, let's talk about those deal prices. As an aside, right now you can use code DT01 for an extra 5% discount on top of all sale prices. That code is exclusive to Digital Trends readers and applicable to all products on BLUETTI's website.
