Lighting was a narrow gap through a window lighting mostly on the bottle with a fill flash to light the rest. Shot in Jpeg but first editing was in Adobe Camera Raw for minor brightness/ light balance adjustments.
Then some levels, selective color and Hue/ Saturation, resize and smart sharpen.
Did not realize this was Advanced Editing or I would have tried to do something about the white spot on the wall next to the bottle.

The idea is great, but the execution leaves something to be desired. The lighting is extremely harsh. The attempt to make the label stand out with the lighting was a bit overdone. I find the cropping a bit too tight. I think this would have worked better placed further from the background, and had an extra light to completely white out the background. And then perhaps limited DOF instead of lighting to make the label on the bottle stand out.
