It'sjust symbolic. Pouring it into the ground so their "homie" can have a drink. It's like the Egyptians putting coins on the eyes of their dead for the boat ride to the other side.

That's also an old world thing in some cultures and countries.
Sometimes it is poured right on the grave, so that the beloved person will have alchohol to drink in their afterlife.
I guess it also may be a sign of respect.
This was also done to the grave of a person considered wise and powerful, such as a person that was a seer, or medium, or kind of prophet in their life.
With the sentence, Now I don't expect you to work for free. If you were requesting their help.
I think this was done at the grave of Marie Lavieux. And may be still done, if the grave is in a place that remained intact.
