How it works

This phrase describes a noun (ワインボトル, wine bottles) using a participial clause. ズラリと (zurari to) is an adverbial expression (specifically, an onomatopoeia/mimetic word + と) modifying the verb 並んだ (naranda), which is the past tense (or 'ta-form') of 並ぶ (narabu, to line up). This 'ta-form' then acts as an adjectival modifier for ワインボトル. The 'と' particle after ズラリ indicates that it's an adverbial modifier describing the manner of action.
