I will either bus or fly back to Santiago, whichever makes sense.

I'd like to buy a couple of cases of wine in Mendoza. Will I have issues returning to Chile for my return flight? Problems, taxes, etc.

Does returning via bus vs. car make a difference?

Thanks.

If you take the Bus, a few peso tip to the porter whom loads the baggage hold will be mighty appreciative.. (If not, he may direct you to bus counter to pay for extra baggage) Whom are you flying SCL to USA? I can lend more insight once I know the carrier. Thanks and Safe Travels..
