Ive generally stayed under 2 bottles of stuff plus some ma dou dou.
But what happens if i bring home 4 bottles of french wine/champagne?
How high is the duty? Based on the bottle or cost of the bottle?

I think it is based on the amount of alcohol irrespective of the cost. I have brought home as many as six liters of alcohol and declared them at customs. I said I would pay the duty. I was just waved through. Duty was not worth collecting. Just be sure you declare the alcohol.

Declare the 4 bottles, like Bluesfan says chances are you'll just be waived through. However, if they decide to charge you duty it won't amount to very much, certainly less than you paid for the champagne.

A few years ago I brought back 16 LT for the two on us and when questioned was sent over to inspectors to pay duty. Duty came to $23 and change. Customs agent was mad that I was sent over to pay as it was more work for him than what was collected. Now we only bring back 6-10 depending on my mood and have always sailed through Miami or CLT. It's not a big priority for them.
