Declare wine/spirit tobacco verbally and state that they are going onward with you. Have onward boarding pass or itinerary printout for CBP agent. There will be an US TSA security check even for transiting passengers - Make sure the wine is in check baggage.

Both medication are OTC at US pharmacy, not a must declare controlled substance.
