What is The Wine Diaper, Anyway?

So just what is this Wine Diaper? Well, imagine this. You've just spent an awesome 10 days gallivanting around Italy, soaking up sun, eating too much pasta...and drinking great wine. In fact, you want to bring some home! So you pick up a couple of bottles, wrap your nice cashmere sweaters around them, stuff them in your suitcase, and jet home.

Alas! When you get there, you discover one of your bottles has broken. Red wine is everywhere. Not only have you lost your wine, but your sweater is ruined...in fact, ALL of your clothes are ruined!!

Enter the Wine Diaper.

I used to travel a lot back and forth from Europe, and this has happened to me, and to many people I know. In my search for an answer to this problem, I came across a piece of advice that claimed that baby diapers were a good solution for packing wine. They'd help pad them, and if a bottle broke, the absorbent material would soak up the wine. I wondered if there might be a way to make a baby diaper into a "wine diaper."
Ten years later, and I've constructed this.

Visit my website, try one out! They're meant to help save you a ton of headaches when you bring home wine.
