 This was difficult to set up as i dont have any lighting other than worklights x3. Used the smaller light to highlight the background which was a bed sheet and a piece of A3 white card.
I used the two other worklights to the left and right at different heights and diffused them with tracing paper.
Most things were stuck together with gaffer tape and hung on ladders.
If this shot does well i may even invest in some lighting.

Processing.

Lightroom 3
PSE8 - boost levels on the backdrop, clone out imperfections in the lead bottle. Green filter. Highpass filter, SFW.

Good idea. Nice soft lighting to go with it.
The light green background is probably not the best idea - doesn't make the wine look appetizing. A warm, subtle color or black might've done a better job I think.
