Comment:

Alternatively one can say 酒喝完了 jiŭ hē wán le. 完 wán finished refers to酒 jiŭ  the wine, but not the action 喝 hē to drink.

The difference between 把酒喝完了and 喝完酒了 is that the word 完 wán  finished refers to the object 酒 wine in the first sentence, and it refers to the action 喝 to drink in the second sentence.
