First off, let me say that I like the general concept of this shot, but I feel there are certainly some things that could be do differently to make this a stronger shot.
I think the warm tone of the lighting is great and works well to set the mood. The exposure seems to be accurate the lighting is generally well done and the model fits with the overall tone of the shot.
The most noticable thing that strikes me as unappealing, and you received several comments about this during the challenge, is the up-the-nose angle of the shot. shooting from eye level or slightly higher would really help here.
Of less concern to me, but still important is a lack of contrast. The image just doesn't "pop" and it really should. It doesn't need much, but to me, it's really noticable.
The only other thing, and this is really not a major concern, is that the wine looks black. If there were some way to light it a bit from behind, give it a reddish glow, it would add quite a bit to the image.
As far as the challenge goes, this certainly fits and wine can be a celebration in itself.
Keep up the good work!
