Morphology
The meaning ('a glass bottle used for holding and serving wine') is directly and compositionally derived from 'wine' (the content) + 'bottle' (the container); there is no idiomatic shift. This container-of noun–noun compound is a common, cross-linguistic pattern and will be clear to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Wine bottle comes from the simple image of putting wine into a glass bottle with a narrow neck so the drink stays fresh and is easy to pour. That's why it means 'a glass bottle used for holding and serving wine'.
