Default I'm moving! What do I do?

I moved 50 gallons last Spring from Upstate NY to the South. Movers moved
all my bottles. I packed the bottles in used wine cases from a local liquor
store. We also moved 4 carboys (that were done with fermentation)by taping
the bung down tight with duck tape and putting them in our 4 x 4. We did
not lose any.

Obviously you don't want any thing to freeze as that would pop your corks
and or crack the bottles.
