I used a wine mummy to carry a bottle of California wine to Italy in to share with my Italian neighbors. It arrived safely and I felt comfortable knowing that if the bottle had broken it would still be sealed inside the mummy so the chances of wine leaking onto my clothes was pretty low. I'm planning to take a good bottle of Italian olive oil or Italian wine back to California with me when I leave. I've been afraid to carry liquids in my checked luggage but wine mummy seems to be a good and inexpensive solution.

The Wine mummy labels says, "The ancient Egyptians carefully wrapped the Pharos to protect them for the journey from this world to the next. Preserve your precious wine and spirits while traveling between worlds."
