Legally, they can ask for duty. As a practical matter, I routinely declare the wine and have never been slowed down even for as much as a case.

A good wine shop should be able to sell you a sytrofoam wine mailer. They come in 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, and 18 bottle sizes. Tape it up well and check it as baggage. Again, I've never had a problem.
