Use a home-made light table. Made from reflective white, translucent plexiglass. A white light with blue gel over, but with the center cut away, letting some white light through, accounting for the bright light under the bottle. Other than resizing, this was not retouched.

Impressive job of capturing the glass with all it's reflective surfaces without any seriously blown out spots. You appear to have a window reflection in the main part of the glass though and this is a kind of distracting. I don't know why but this doesn't want to pop for me though. I think it may have too many conflicting lines and textures...

AMAZING! I love how you can see only half of the glass. The glass beads/stones are a nice touch. I also like the spotlight by the Maker's Mark bottle. Very clean and extremely detailed. But that last bit is also your downfall. There's too much detail in the glass as I can see some background reflected in it. If that was not there, I'd rate this a 10. I wish there were half points cause then I'd give you 9.5 but I cannot so you get a 9. Great job!
This looks like a familiar effect, It will be interesting to see if you have done this before. I seem to remember something like this not so long ago. :) don't worry I am scoring you fairly high.
