Thank you for the suggestions. On the DOF I read about that and was going to try it but they wanted to be able to crop the whole item out and I was afraid if I went too shallow it would mess up their ability to crop it out and look good. That might have been a wrong idea on my part but I just figured I wouldnt blurr it too much. IDK.
Good point on the bottles too. This is what they gave me and I didnt know any better to ask for something different, though I will next time. On the brands... I guess that would be more their problem than mine, in terms of the license/ advertising issue? Good point. I think most of this is going on a menu. Doesnt avoid any issue though I would presume the liklihood of someone really seeing it and having issue would be less than, say, if it was on a billboard.

If the client requirement is a clean background, just shoot it on white. Shallow DOF will not affect that. The advertising company should get the blame on the bottles, but if they were shot with the low DOF the blur would make the brand issue less of a problem.
Shooting tethered with Capture One or DSLR remote will allow you to solve many problems, such as the tilted backgrounds right there at the shoot. The client can approve the photo and then move on.
