I'm not sure what the market is for this, the oenophile on the go maybe. But if you need to have a bottle of
wine with you at all times, Pratesi has a series of attractive leather bags that are designed to gently cradle your
precious vintage while you are en route to your next destination. The case shown here is cognac, croco-embossed leather
and has an all-around zip, a top handle and feet on the bottom. The inside is padded and there is an extra pocket with a
bottle/cap opener in wood and metal included. It sells
for $246 and sure beats the paper bag.Pratesi Wine Holder

I actually have something similar to this (not croco-embossed, very pretty!) that holds two bottles, or, a bottle and two little wine glasses. It's quite convenient; I use it when we're going somewhere we need to bring wine to - like a friends house, or a BYO restaurant. It helps keep the wine safe from my husband's crazy driving and looks great, too.

I have one too... we have an extensive wine collection, and we often bring our own rather than paying the mark up for a substandard bottle. Corkage fee of $10-20 is always worth BYO (a $15 bottle in the supermarket is always $30 or more--a $50 bottle we bring often is marked up to $100+!).
At any rate, I prefer to avoid walking in with a bare bottle--looks so crass. Plus why not have another beautiful accessory?!
