Special care should be taken to protect the wine when packing. Professional movers are qualified to correctly pack the wine bottles. If you are packing the wine yourself, you may want to consider obtaining wine-packing boxes used to transport wine by the case on commercial airlines. These are made of Styrofoam or corrugated cardboard and protect the bottles well.
