Sonoma County Winery would definitely not hire me to be
their product photographer. Like my previous effort, this
has hard lines between the light and dark parts of the
bottle instead of a gradient. Even worse, the lighting
shows off imperfections on the surface of the bottle.
And worst of all, the photo makes it look like the
winery puts Malbec in their Chardonnay bottles.

Photographing transparent, translucent and glossy
objects is tricky business. At this point I'll follow
the sage advice I've received and drink the wine.
