A good attempt, but a couple of thoughts: It's not straight. You need to rotate it a small bit to the left. Also, you have dust on your black background. It distracts from the photo and yet is easily fixed in post. Also, it's not really low key. It's just a nicely exposed photo on a black background. Some more dramatic side lighting were parts of the subject falls into shadow would produce a more low key image.

Nice Aussie theme but somehow there is too much light on the subject

The subject is really rather bright, some brightness in a generally low key image can work well, but here the entire subject is exposed normally. More to the point, and the reason I have voted this one just a 4, the items appear to be floating in mid air. The black background is totally black, no texture, and no sense of the wine bottle et al sitting on a surface.
