About Us

For every bottle of wine, olive oil or other culinary indulgence brought home from a trip, there's a special story that goes along with it. For James and Amy Dias, it was two bottles of wine from Australia that resulted in the founding of BottleWise LLC. During a Spring 2007 trip Down Under, a business associate gave James two bottles of wine from a family vineyard just before his return flight to the States. Knowing that US TSA restrictions prohibited him from transporting the wine in his carry-on, James wrapped the bottles in clothing, placed them in his suitcase and then spent most of the 24-hour flight worried the bottles would break in his luggage, ruining everything inside.

After researching the marketplace and talking with friends who’ve had similar near misses, James and Amy determined that, given today’s tight carry-on policy restrictions, it has become increasingly difficult for air travelers to bring home that special souvenir from their journeys. And so, BottleWise was born with the hopes of providing peace of mind for those travelers who believe that a great bottle is best when paired with a great bottle bag.

BottleWise designs and manufactures bottle bags for the discriminating culinary traveler.  Each bag is proudly made using high-quality materials and craftsmanship.  Based in Madison, WI, and with local distribution based in Melbourne, AU, BottleWise stands behind its products with an unconditional guarantee.

The very first BottleWise distributor outside of the USA is Bottlewise Australia.  Knowing that Aussies are mad keen on travel and great culinary experiences, James and Amy determined that Australia was the perfect country to expand outside of the USA and so they decided to provide the Duo to Australia, New Zealand, and all of SE Asia via their partnership with BottleWise Australia.
