TL;DR
Labeled, store-bought wine in glass bottles is the safest bet for checked luggage. Homemade wine without a label risks confiscation at customs.
What the community said
Homemade wine in unlabeled glass bottles is a real risk — customs has been known to open bags and confiscate unidentified liquids. Stick to store-bought, labeled wine to avoid problems.

Plastic wine bottles in a soft backpack checked as luggage can burst under the weight of other bags. Avoid this without rigid protection around the bottle.

Store-bought wine in a labeled plastic bottle can go in checked luggage. Protect it well from pressure — a hard-shell suitcase or wrapping in clothes helps.
