Ive never had nor heard of issues with checking a box of Wine with Delta, provided its properly packed. Ive flown DL myself with Wine but also have clients that use DL regularly to take back wines they purchase from us and have not had reports of issues. At one point DL agents in EZE were misreading some rules and thinking that Wine was a flammable liquid and therefore were trying to place limits of total volume transported but this also went away after a few initial reports... wine is clearly not something that lights up, its alcohol content is far below hard liquor so there is nothing to worry about.
Sorry for replying to this so late, too bad you didnt send me a PM....
Cheers from Buenos Aires,

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!!
