The wine glass
Your assumption is correct.
The light of your light source hits the glass. At this boundary between air and glss the rays of light are refracted. They are ridriected a few degrees towards the middle. Due to the curved shape of the glass, the rays of light are refracted again when leaving the glass, so that they converge even more strongly. There is only a weak refraction at the transition between glass and watr, because both water and glass are similar substances for light.
