I bring blue drywall tape to tape the screw caps or corks for an extra measure of security. Then I put the bottles in socks and try to get some clothes around them. You can also put them in a big ziplock if you're afraid they'll leak. Duty free shops in airports are usually inside the gate area, after you check your bags. That was my point. I realize that you can carry booze in checked baggage.
