Hi,
I still don't get it.

This means 'I still don't understand it'.

Hi, Clive!

What does it mean to hear someone say break out the good stuff??

This is what I was meant by ''I still don't get it'' because I was doing more search after posting the original post with no success.



Thanks,

I can't see the video but in general, it would mean "let's celebrate by drinking the best wine/champagne/scotch that we have in the house - something we save for a special occasion."
