Broken wine bottles one bowled over (2,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in awe

'bowled over' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'broken wine bottles one' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'bottles' means one lot of letters goes inside another (bottle can mean to contain).
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'wine' is an anagram of 'inwe'.
'inwe' placed around 'a' is 'IN AWE'.

(Another definition for in awe that I've seen is " Overcome with wonder".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
