Here is another method as per Vyusur which might perform better under smoothing. Rather than start with a square, you can also start with an oval or a cylinder. Here I start with a cylinder with 12 points on loop. Extrude in once to brace the edge loop. Then use Tessalate and join vertexes to center. This yield triangles. No problem. Select two triangles at a time and dissolve (backspace). Now the end of the cylinder is made of quads but the edge loop is braced by an circle. Repeat for other end if closing bottle, or delete other end if bottle is open. Select edge loops of cylinder and shape as desired for bottle length and width.
