It would be understood as a different one. The waiter/waitress would think they brought the wrong one. :)

So if "Flasche" happened to be a masculine noun, then the article would change to "einen" here? Can we get a confirmation on this?
Well, I am not a native speaker of German, but from the perspective of a case-based language it looks the most logical way to treat this.
For example, "Good morning" is "Guten Morgen" because it is actually "(I wish you a) good morning". Obviously, in Nominative "a good morning" is just "ein guter Morgen"
Here is another sentence, this time "Another one, please": https://www.duolingo.com/comment/1441951
If you want to follow a link someone supplies in the discussion area use the right-click button on your mouse or touch pad rather than a left-click button. A pop-up menu will appear and, depending on the browser you're using, one of the options will be something like, "Open Link in New Tab". That will allow you to follow the link and then return to DuLingo by clicking back on the DuLingo tab.
