OK, I just called DXB customs and it was confirmed that for personal use, only 4L is allowed and any more is not accepted at all. (If you have a license, it's 100% duty.)

Sounds like we're down to having EK (or customs, though that's not likely) hold the wine for us in transit. We've had some airlines and customs entities offer to do this before, but I'm not hopeful here. :/
