Import duty on wine is 170% (that is not a typo) of your purchase price. With the current crack down on imported wines you will be asked to pay this.
Also take into account that your 12 bottles will go very close to your 20 kilogram luggage allowance. So you will have to pay excess luggage costs if you bring any clothes with you.
If you buy your wine cheap the customs people here will simply put here own value on it and then charge you 170% of that.
A mate of mine lives here in Sanur. He recently won an Australian conducted raffle. The prize is 12 bottles of wine per month for one year. We will never get to drink his prize.
