Others already touched on it, but yeah. Wine bottle is not really the ideal shape for this, very cute though! Wide and shallow means water level won't change so much with volume, a 10x12x2" paper organizer tote with very similar cups to yours set in the lid is what I usually recommend for a little beginner window garden. You aren't doing anything wrong so much as tricky/ambitious. It'll naturally get easier as roots come in, and next time you could try waiting until roots reach past the neck of the bottle. Still won't be ideal conditions, but should work fine with tough stuff like lettuce :)
