I really like the mellow tones of this shot, your choice of topic is good for this particular challenge.
I find the background distracting, perhaps a darker or black b/g would bring the focus directly onto the topic, would also eliminate the rings on the table.
A lower point of view would have brought the top of the bottle into shot, though then you may not have captured the lovely mellow colour in the bottle. It's a difficult lighting situation, but one well worth playing round with.
I do like where you are heading with your playing round, it's so important to keep trying new things......lighting, camera angles, editing.
It would be good to try this shot again with a different background, deeper dof to see if you could get a slightly better focus on the front of the glass, adding more light to see if you could get that glass to sparkle.
Good creative work!
regards
