One traveler reported flying out on the 26th with 3 plastic wine bottles packed in each checked suitcase, with no issues at all during screening.
3 bottles per suitcase — no issues
Homemade wine in unlabeled glass bottles is a real risk — customs has been known to open bags and confiscate unidentified liquids. Stick to store-bought, labeled wine to avoid problems.
Labeled store-bought wine — safest option
Plastic wine bottles in a soft backpack checked as luggage can burst under the weight of other bags. Avoid this without rigid protection around the bottle.
Plastic bottle in soft bag — risk of bursting
Store-bought wine in a labeled plastic bottle can go in checked luggage. Protect it well from pressure — a hard-shell suitcase or wrapping in clothes helps.
Labeled plastic bottle — allowed, but protect it
