I will end up going back to the US via AMS.
We brought 2 bottles back after a winery tour outside of Florence. We wrapped them well in dirty clothes, and put one in each checked suitcase, just in case security got too nosy with opening up one.

Shipping any more (separately) doubled the price of the wine, so it was not worth it for us, but be sure to check into it for your selections.
