Yes, but how much you'll be allowed to bring to your destination depends on the laws of that particular island country.
You don't say where you are flying from or to but on most Caribbean islands wines and liquors are usually less expensive then they are many major countries.

Different countries have different rules, so check with the laws of your destination. Word of warning, high altitude air pressure in cargo holds can mess up plastic bottles, and baggage handlers can mess up glass. Your best bet is the Duty Free shop if your destination doesn't sell what you want, but they still might require you to pay duty

Look, even if you bring in a reasonable amount over the Duty Free limit (and you declare the wine/liquor to the customs agent) the worse that will happen is you will have to the pay the additional duty. If you are lucky the agent will just wave you through with no duty to be paid.
All that said, Unless you are bringing a lot of "specialty" liquor or vintage wine that is not available on the island the amount you might save buying the liquor elsewhere might not be worth the aggravation of packing and lugging heaving bottles through airports. I for one would forego bringing liquor and buy what I needed on island.
