Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.

Because I am not sure as to how you want to transport your wine, I have several suggestions that you should and shouldn't do when traveling by car. If you are interested in air travel, I suggest you check with your travel agent because of all of the new security regulations. Make sure you don't put the wine in your trunk. Ideally, bring a large cooler, and keep the wine in the cardboard or wooden carrier you get from the winery. Besides protecting the bottle, it also provides some insulation. Two other possibilities are the use of bubble wrap and/or flotation devices the kids wear while swimming. Don't place the bottles on their sides because if the temperature soars, the wine can actually start to push its way out past the cork. Storing the wine upright position, allows it to expand a little more, yet not enough to cause any problems. Finally, crack the windows for some airflow in the car and if possible, park in a shady spot.

There are also various commercial products that you can buy. One such product can be found at the following link:

Enjoy.

Thank you.  Your answer is very helpful.  I had planned to travel with the bottles lying flat.  I will do as you say and travel with them upright.  I am using the auto train and planned to put the wine in the car in coolers with a bit of ice.  I hope the car does not get too hot.
