Fearing a drop in cellar door sales, wineries in California are offering special packaging and discounted shipping after the imposition of a ban on carrying liquids onto airplanes, following last week's revelations of a terrorist plot involving trans-Atlantic flights, reports Decanter.com.

Domaine Carneros, for example, is providing free insulated foam packaging for consumers who previously could carry a few bottles on board a plane.

Eileen Crane, the winery's president and winemaker said: "Because of the ban, we are now giving them packing materials that make it easier and more secure to check those bottles. We're also offering US$15 towards shipping if they choose to send their wine home."
