 (AP) BERKELEY, Calif. Six weeks after travel restrictions on carrying wine aboard airplanes, some wineries report they’ve been able to maintain tasting room sales by offering new shipping and stowage options.

Taking home a bottle or six is a tradition for many wine country tourists. It’s also a good way for smaller wineries to build customer relations.

That seemed in danger in the immediate aftermath of the August London terror plot revelations that led to a ban on toting liquids aboard.

Since then, some of the restrictions have been modified, but passengers still can’t take wine purchased outside the airport in the cabin with them.
