Tried a couple of shots after reading about the required setup in a book Light, Science & Magic. Must say, very good book for light aspects about photography.
Lighting setup was one light on the background. The background demarcated with with black cards to get delineation on the bottle edges. One light through a translucent umbrella from camera left to illuminate the text & front of the bottle.

C & C Please.

They look very good to me. Maybe a tiny bit oversharpened.

I work in an area where I see a lot of bottle labels. These are quite good. I do see some stairstepping in the fine print, however. Is that from compression effects?

The Absolut bottle looks somehow, well, too smoothed, artificial looking--particularly the neck and the cap. Perhaps it's just a resolution issue.

I think lighting renders the surface of the Absolut bottle very nicely. Nice subtle reflection at the bottom. Great job on both.

Thanks a ton for the feedback guys.
The extra sharpening is courtesy of Flickr I think. Yet to get a proper estimate of how much to sharpen when uploading on Flickr.
There is definitely some gray spots on the white sheet. Need to PP it correctly. Was not easily visible on the non colour corrected old laptop.
