Transporting Your Wine
Wine doesn't really enjoy travelling. If you are carrying wine in vehicles, don't leave it in the car on a warm day. Stories abound of corks spontaneously popping, bottles leaking, or corks moving and so allowing air in which causes rapid oxidization.
Many wineries can send your wine home using specialist wine transport services, which can be arranged at the time of purchase. Once home safely, bottles should be left unopened for a few days to recover from travel induced 'bottle shock'. Cellar door staff can provide further advice regarding wine transport and storage. And don't forget to pack your bottle opener when you head to the Barossa - you won't want anything to stand between you and a taste of your new favourite wine!
