We had a carry-on sized suitcase we checked that contained only 4 750ml and 2 375 ml bottles of wine in a styrofoam shipper container and a couple rolls of toilet paper. When it arrived on the luggage rack, it had a big red chalk X on each side and the cheap lock had been removed. Custom's zero'd right on it, and asked to see what was in it. After we showed them, they let us right through. However I am sure that if we were over our 4 liter limit for 4 people they would have kept the extra.
If you are bringing in wine in a box, who cares. If you are bringing in $50 bottles, don't take the chance.
