Hi,

if you want to import some bottles of wine next time you fly back from
Switzerland, and you enter the US with any valid working Visa (e.g. H1-B),
you are considered as an permanent resident by the custom! (except for the
INS, you are seen as permanent resident) which means you can import twice
as much wine as a "standard" tourist.
I am not sure about the quantity, but it should be enough to avoid any
trouble.... check the US Custom web site..

If you import your entire wine cellar in your container as you move here, I
don't think there is a max. limit, as long as it's for your own use. (based
on my own experience..)

Olivier
