No one is going to ask or check your age, so I would suspect no issue, but cannot guarentee it. Yes, you do need to declare it on the form you fill out.

Do I declare it? Or not? It's probably going to be no more than 4-5 bottles of wine. I'm also 19 sp legally in the US I'm not allowed to buy it, so would this be an issue? Do I just declare the wines? Do the goodies matter? They're just going to be like cookies and candies. Please and thank you! Hi =D

The agents should charge an import tax in much the same way as other ‘luxury’ items you might have purchased, but they usually don’t bother when it’s below a case as the tax collected would be quite low.

Usually people transiting a state are not subject to those restrictions, but sometimes regulations change, and if this is a matter of utmost importance to you, you can check with the state Alcohol Beverage Control Board where you will be arriving to find out what their policies are.

It works like a thermarest (inflatable camping pad). I'm going to try it, but I'm going to put my wine in a waterproof bag first, just in case. I still like the VinniBag.

I packed four bottles of wine in my checked luggage and declared it upon entry into the states. No one asked a single question about the wines or the expense, nor was there mention of any kind of tax. It was a very pleasant surprise.
