This was shot with two mono lights, one (with umberella) drectly behind the camera and up high, one on an sharp angle pointing more at the backdrop to bounce light from behind.

I like the composition - wine bottles are one of my favorite subjects - but for me this photo doesn't make me feel any of the emotion that choices usually involve
I 've had the estancia, the cab and the merlot, 2000, both pretty good. The lighting in this shot, creates a look of overexposure that is simply atrocious. try an off center light to the right in back, and try a colred or shadowed background.
I find the composition a little rigid and symetrical, and all the labels are facing pretty much the same way. A more fluid approach would be more pleasing IMHO
