Checking box of wine on DL not allowed?

Question for Gaucho100K and other Argentina experts:

I am planning to bring a case of wine from Mendoza to the US as checked luggage. I’d planned to buy a styrofoam shipping box like Gaucho recommends, but I just found in Delta’s fine print that boxes are not accepted as checked luggage to/from South America. I have a less than ideal route home (MDZ-ATL-MCO), with Aerolineas Argentinas for the first leg and DL for the last two; DL issued the ticket. I have too many bottles to fit into my checked bag. Any ideas on how I may be able to get my wine safely checked home?

Thank you all in advance!!
