Assuming the OP expects to travel to other wine-producing areas, this safe could pay off. If you use it 6 times (~2 year's worth of wine-related travel for me), it's <$6 per bottle. That's not a bad deal.

When you consider that you cannot get many wines from small producers in the US, I want to get one of these safe things myself!

The only thing that would give me pause is dealing with customs. The safe would likely draw attention and they'd ask you what's in it, etc.
