Here's an old solution I learn't from Grey in the old PFO. This maybe what lynnJohnathan is trying to describe as I don't get what he's saying. You need two bottles, one parented to Mike's hand and the other on the table. The bottle in Mike's hand should be scaled to 0% in frame 1 so you can't see it. At the frame Mike's hand grasps the bottle, set a key frame for both bottles. In the very next frame we switch the bottles by setting the scale of the bottle in Mikes hand to 100% and the standing bottle to 0%. Hey presto! That's it!
