I will be moving soon and have some 54L DJ and a 55L barrel. *These
are too difficult to move intact so I am wondering what is the best
way to move the wine about 20 miles by van?

thanks

I have a demijohn but it's old, it has no basket. *I would move the
barrel intact but put a moving strap over the bung; I would break the
carboy down into smaller carboys and seatbelt them in a car. *The
glass on mine looks pretty thin, I won't even pick it up more than
half full, too awkward.

Thanks for the tips!

I'll look around for a good dolly maybe I can rent one. It will still
be a challenge to go up and down stairs.

Should I take any precautions to prevent oxydation if I transfer the
54L DJ to smaller 19L car boys?
