I believe the answer is:

lightweight

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a box of spooner's chardonnay at bedtime?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'small guy' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 'light'.
'guy' becomes 'weight' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'light'+'weight'='LIGHTWEIGHT'

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lightweight that I've seen before include "Fighter" , "Insubstantial" , "of little importance" , "Of little substance" , "delicate" .)
