Try sneaking in two.
If they stop you, tell them that the other one is your hubbies who's had to duck into the loo.
Take all your cash out of your purse and tuck it somewhere else leaving just $10 in your purse.
If you get sprung and they start demanding a 'penalty', just open your purse to show them that's all you have. More often than not they'll accept that. Worst case scenario would be if they confiscated one of the bottles.
I did a similar thing a few years back with no less than 6 x 750ml bottles of premium wines in my hand luggage. The guy took me into the office and read me the riot act and showed me a form asking for 500% of the value of the wines as the payable duty. I just opened my previously emptied wallet with $30 in it, he took it and said "OK you go now" and that was it.
Just remember that they're all bent and looking for some easy cash.
