"Visitors who are at least 21 years of age may bring the following into the USA: 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 2 kilograms (4.4 lbs.) of tobacco; 1 liter of alcohol; gifts to the value of $100. "

A typical bottle of wine purchased in Germany is 0.7 liters, FYI. So, although two bottles equals 1.4 liters, customs usually doesn’t care about two bottles.
