So, here's the deal, like it or not.
You are required to fill in and turn in a Customs declaration.
If you lie on it, you're in violation of the law, and can get into trouble.
If you are honest, you are allowed one litre of alcohol if you are over 21, so for two reasons, you get your two bottles confiscated and dumped.
Basically, it ain't worth it.
If you had two companions, or met two folks, over 21 on the trip, each could legally import a liter of alcoholic beverages...

Is there a good chance that I'll be asked to go through customs x-raying, and if so, whats the chance that they'll take the wine away from me?
