Here's a current WIP I'm working on. The glass, bottle and wine are modeled in Amapi7 (and use the importer without incident). The floor and walls are just for test purposes. I'm playing around with the shaders in these test renders.

I wanted to post the WIP in case anyone wanted to offer some suggestions but also because it illustrates something Jeremy Birn mentioned in his great book "[Digital] lighting and Rendering".

In the first picture, one of a number o fissues is that the far lip of the wine glass seen through the near edge of the glass is rather indestinct. Jeremy mentioned that often the issue is not the lighting or shader but the model itself. In this case one of the problems is that I forgot to add a rounded lip to the wine glass.
