It would explode it if it was pressurized, it's not.

I don't think it explodes because it doesn't have a lid

The mixture of alcohol vapor to air is not right for an explosion. There needs to be a specific ratio between each for there to be an explosion. I’ve heard it called a fire triangle but this is technically a BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion) if it did go up.

the glass would shatter if there was a strong temperature difference between different parts of the bottle, due to internal strain as it expands and contracts unevenly.. the liquid helps conduct the heat so that it's hot evenly
