TL;DR
Travelers say the allowance is usually counted per person, not per suitcase: the safer approach is to pack 3 liters of wine in checked luggage and buy up to 3 more bottles in duty free for the second passenger. That way the amount is split between two people even if they share one bag.
If two people are flying with one shared suitcase, the practical rule of thumb mentioned was to count the allowance per passenger rather than per bag. In the discussion, travelers used 3 liters of wine per person as the benchmark.
The most cautious option for a shared suitcase is to pack only 3 liters of wine inside it, so there are fewer questions about a single checked bag. Travelers suggested not adding the rest to that same suitcase.
For the second traveler, the suggestion was to buy 3 more bottles after security in the airport duty free. It may cost a bit more than bringing everything in advance, but it helps keep within the allowance for two people and is safer for transporting the bottles.
