Must one carry wine jugs in an altered manner (shinui) on Shabbat, and which alteration is preferable?
Synopsis
One who carries wine jugs from place to place on Shabbat must not carry them in a basket or crate as on a weekday, but should carry them in front or on the shoulder. There is a dispute whether minimizing trips (carrying many at once in a basket) is preferable to shinui (carrying one at a time in an altered manner).
