They have special boxes for bring home wine. I don't think you want to just buy a case and check it in just like that. Everytime we come back from Napa, we get a special box from a winery (they all have them) which has styroform insert and they have 3/6/9/12 bottle boxes. We usually get the 12 bottle version, a piece of styroform goes in first and there are 3 cutouts for wine bottles, then the next inserts goes in and so on, then we tape it up and check it as luggage.
