I believe the answer is:

oenophile

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'connoisseur's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'glasses contain small measure with greek character and lime zest' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'measure' could be 'ph' (pH is a kind of measure) and 'ph' is located in the answer.
'character' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
