The moving process can be a headache. Whether it’s just down the road or across the country, it’s an incredibly involved situation and one that must be done with care to avoid damaging any of your belongings. This is especially true when transporting wine and liquor bottles. People spend many years, and a lot of money, accumulating the perfect collection of libations. Before the moving company arrives, it’s important to ensure your collection is properly prepared.

Why Moving Wine and Liquor Requires Special Supplies

Because of the fragility of wine and liquor bottles, the transport and storage of them require special treatment. Before scheduling any moving services, make sure you have all of the necessary supplies to transport your collection safely. Specialty boxes allow you to place each bottle in an individualized section of the box which prevents them from banging into each other during the move. In addition to the boxes, take extra precautions by wrapping each bottle individually in packing paper and padding.

How to Transport Wine and Liquor Bottles

Whether you’re moving on your own or using home movers, packing the collection yourself will give you an added peace of mind. After you wrap each bottle in the packing paper, gently place them into the specialty boxes. Tape the boxes up tightly to eliminate the chance of breakage. For even more protection, put a layer of packing peanuts or bubble wrap on the bottom of the box prior to doing this step.

Once they’re loaded onto the truck, make sure the bottom of the box is securely placed to avoid sliding or falling while on the road. Then, label each of the boxes so that there’s no confusion when taking them out of the truck. This is important because these boxes should not be stacked on top of each other, nor should they be placed on any other items in the truck.
