A couple of places that I've dined at let's us keep our unfished
bottles in their wine cellar(chilled icebox) for when we come back next
time. If recorked and stored in such a way that the cork stays wet,
wine actually keeps for awhile... :^)

Last time I was in France, I filled two suite cases with wine in
bottles wrapped in my shirts, pants, in socks...etc. The customs guy
could tell that the suite cases were VERY heavy the way I carried them
and he asked me what was in the suite cases and I responsed, "A bunch
of wine..." with a smile and he didn't even bothered to open the suit
cases. This was prior to 9-11.

Most times I can only do at most two or three glasses at a sitting, my
wife however can keep on truckin' when it comes to drinking wine. :^)

Here in Northern Virginia, there are several (maybe thirty) vineyards
that are open for wine tasting in the summer and when we go visit those
places, I'm the desinated driver. :^)
