    If you are entering into the Western Third of the wide brown land be aware that licensees will not even be able to sell cask wine ar any alcohol in individual containers greater than 1 litre above the 20th paralel south and the fines for sly grogging have been doubled to $20,000 and the vehicle used to commit the offence is confiscated.

    You can buy one litre casks and bottles and it is always a good idea to use closed cell foam and bubble wrap to avoid corrugation calamities.

    Carrying Wine

    FWIW we buy good quality wine and in bottles and pack it carefully in the load or in our "stores" boxes - we have not lost a drop in years of bush travel. Just make sure there is no glass to glass contact. Land Rover coil suspension works a treat - eggs don't even break on the roughest roads.

    See my avatar. The D3 was carrying 4 cases of wine (and other supplies) and crystal glasses at the time. Nothing broken.
    Nothing beats opening a good bottle red at night around the camp fire after a hard day (drinking cold beer).

    We are going to very remote and tough tracks (Old Gunbarrel, Kimberleys, Nathan River road, Chambers Pillar etc) and I don't want a sea of wine throughout Grover. What do you think?

    dont know if it been said but take a look at this

    We have had a wine cask bladder rub thru on very rough roads but only once...still once can be enough
    That just meant that you, Numpty and Norm had to drink that cask of Shearer's Cabinet more quickly - problem? I think not
