no question, the lighting and the glass textures are amazing. stick with the dramatic angle, it gives the scene a feeling of dread or uncertainty.
so far, my only crit is the lens flares. I've never ever been a fan of them and you have three. From a photography standpoint, lens flares are despised, unwanted elements and you have three in the form of candle 'halos'. Strictly speaking from a realism perspective, you wouldn't have three in a photo, maybe one, but never three, because a flare is the results of the angle of bright light compared to the surroundings bouncing off the various lenses of the camera.
They are distracting in your image and you want your focus to be the bottle.
On the flipside, I'm a huge fan of depth of field and the ease with which LW 8 makes it with the built in focal plug-in, you might want to give it a shot.
