100% Photoshop, a few glitches but nearly done.
Thought they would go well with my pizza icons (equally useless)



Any constructive feedback would be cool.
Im going to to add Champagne, Chianti etc soon, plus a proper label design.

Cheers.

I like the overall look but I'm unsure about the fuzziness around the top and bottom.

The labels look much sharper by comparison.

What's going to go on the labels?

Its the drop shadow, Im working on it (problems might disappear when I reduce to 128).

As for the labels, you guess is good as mine, I was originally going to do traditional wine labels (french/Spanish/Aussie), but I might do something more useful. any ideas?

How about adding reflective light to the bottles, as in a shine on the other side but made more subtle and less defined? And instead of using a dropshadow for the entire thing, try one instead on the bottom maybe?

Agreed. Use a shot taken from inside a restaurant and overlay it over each bottle with different opacity settings. Right now, they look like candy and don't really take on a reflective property. Don't get me wrong, they're very well done! We're just talking the icing on the cake.

What about this?

I've added a small amount of reflection tweaked a few things and added a shadow.

I think he might be talking more about the light that is reflected from the background back onto the bottle rather than the direct highlight... maybe. Something like this?
