The wine cellar situation is a little different in that all the wine has been "taxed" and is "legal'. You are talking about transporting untaxed, illegal (maybe) alcohol. For personal consumption, there is an allowed amount but I'm not sure what it is (less than 20 gallons, though, I'm pretty sure). What you are going to be doing is sometimes called "moonshining" - which is making illegal booze (as opposed to "bootlegging" - which is transporting booze from a place where it is legal to a place where it is illegal (i.e. to a "dry" county or city). Yes, you are technically breaking a law, but you are doing that when you go 75 on the interstate in a 70 MPH zone. Risks of getting in trouble - low unless you have an accident or some other event that draws law enforcement attention to you; then probably more embarrassment than trouble.
