Not really a wine bottle, more of a liquor one ... but nice indeed.

I am confused.
If you drop glasses and a bottle, wouldn't they break?
That doesn't seem nice at all.
Either that, or a drop sounds a little stingy for a wine portion.

Marz is one of my very favorite artists here, but I don't get this title.

I think it's the wine that drops into the glasses. :)

In case you're serious about never hearing the phrase "a drop of wine", it is a classic case of understatement.
Understatement is very common in British English due to their politeness (not wanting to "make a fuss"). It also has become a hallmark of British humour.
It is also not uncommon in America, though, with phrases like "not bad" and "a drop of wine" meaning "excellent!" and "fill 'er up!"
