Can an 18 year old bring alcohol through U.S. Customs from a foreign country?

I'm 18 and I just spent 20 wonderful days in Greece. I'm leaving tomorrow morning to go back home to California and I want to bring my father some wine. Will I be able to get through customs? It's perfectly legal here to buy the alcohol, it'll be in a sealed container, and it's a gift so... maybe they'll let me through? Or is this just wishful thinking on my part...

+ (since from the looks of the posts the general concensus seems to be that bringing alcohol back is technically illegal) what are the possible consequences of carrying it? Is it a slap on the wrist and confinscation or something more serious?

Thanks for the help!
