If you pack your wine well, with bubble wrap, styrofoam, etc., you should be fine.

[...] Regular readers know that the 3-ounce container restriction on liquids in carry-ons is one of my “favorite” gripes. As a person who hates to check bags, I am regularly irritated when I can’t, say, bring a bottle of wine in my carry-on.

I had the same happen to me. If I only knew ahead of time. I travel for a living and had 1 bottle of beer (I collect beer). I was told that it was not allowed. I travel for a living and contract with TSA, and I knew their rules. This is the first time that I had heard of such a thing traveling with in the U.S.

I then tried to call them. Waited on the phone for 25 minutes, until the 7:00 CST hit, at which point I was hung up on. WOW!

You were able to bring food and drink from another country into the US?

Jasmeet –

Yes, of course. It’s perfectly legal. The list of food/drink items you CAN’T bring in from another country is pretty short. See here for the US customs rules regarding what you can’t bring in.
