I think I'll want to sleep after take off but don't want to miss out on the Salon - it looks like there is only one other passenger, but I guess i won't be able to say "save me a bottle for later?"

Presumably there will be no issue with me asking to have the main meal later in the flight?
You can have your meal at any time you want until the last order. Just tell them your meal preference before you go to bed so they can save it for you.

You can try ask the CA to save you a glass or two later but that would be up to the CA.
