Yes - as the bottle has a circular cross section - fluid flow round circles is pretty efficient, despite the larger presenented surface area in the direction of travel.

What I can't figure out and what suprises me is the fact you left the bottle of beer behind

It was a good few months old IMO. I didn't think it would be that drinkable.

I'll take a stab.
The bottle has less drag falling sideways (smooth shape) than it does with the bottom first (square shape).

It must have.
What is odd is that there is so much less drag despite the massive increase in frontal are when falling sideways.
I wish I could find a pic of a bottle falling in air, from a great height, to see what attitude it adopts. It might indicate an effect of boundary layer flow is playing a part.
