Leak Resistant Luggage Compartment

Does anyone know of a make of luggage that has a leak resistant compartment? Now that we cannot carry-on wine and other liquids it would be nice to have a piece of luggage that holds liquid containing items and would not leak into the suitcase should an item break/leak. Any ideas of what to do to safely transport liquid containing items like wine bottles until such a suitcase is on the market?

I use those 2-gallon Ziploc bags. 2 per bottle. Put bottle of wine in bag, squish out all the air as you seal it tightly, then put that in another bag which you also seal tightly. Then, of course, cushion with clothing. No leaks in my luggage yet!

USPS, UPS, FedEx all work pretty well for wine.

I've put bottles in ziplocks in my luggage too, but I've always wondered if the bottle breaks wouldn't the glass cut the bag? Probably. I'll think about that tomorrow.

NeoP, those 2-gallon Ziploc bags are unusually thick-gauge plastic. Not like sandwich bags. I even use them to package soups for storage in my freezer.

NeoP, it's a possibility, but I'm not kidding: the shards of the bottle would really have to be forced through that stuff. Remember, I double-bag those babies, AND then surround them with clothing.
