I don't believe having two wine skins in the same commander helps more than just one... Try having another commander holding the other.
Abominations as support troops?

Well, that game is going quite well... Enjoy! Just hope no one casts nothing nasty... Always keep some astral gems for Dispel!
EDIT: same thing for summer swords, and most other items... the effect equipment has on the commander stacks, but the effects the magic of the item has don't stack very often. That is, you get defence boost from multiple swords but otherways one is enough. Different items having the same kind of an effect stack, atleast in the cases I can think of.
