    Eeeeesh, just shipped a classic yesterday. Hope it holds up. I've always experience yellow liquid between the cap and cork on Cantillon bottles.

    Here is how I prefer my Cantillon shipped:
    1) Cut a hole in the box
    2) You put the bottle into the box
    3)Take cap off bottle
    4) Heat up hot glue gun and coat the entire top of the bottle
    5) Re-cap the bottle
    This process ensures no leakage. By the time the recipient of said bottle figures out how to open it without breaking it. The bottle will be aged to perfection

    They were packed upright. The box was transported in whichever geometric angle maximized the space in the trucks. And if it was a cube, then you have a 1/6 chance that it transported upright. :slight_smile:

    I recently had a bottle of Brainless on Peaches leak in flight -- about half the bottle, made everything smell horrible inside. It uses a standard crown cap, which was intact, as was the bottle. The only thing you can really do is put it in one of those wine diaper bags so it limits the spread of liquid if and when you do get a leak.

    I just had the same thing happen to me with Etre. Same exact bottle (LPF) leaked in the same style. None of the other bottles leaked.
