Photorealism Practise - Wine

For this project my goal was to create a photorealistic render of wine.
I originally planned to do this project in Vray but my license had recently expired so it was a good excuse to try experiment with the render engine 'Arnold'.
I used an amazing HDRI and backplates from HDRI haven : https://hdrihaven.com/hdri/?h=venice_sunrise to help achieve my goal.

I had a lot of fun with this project as I had to learn a lot about Arnold as well as how Italian wine labels are correctly laid out. The biggest problem I had was with getting the "right look" for the glass and reflections as well as a few errors with trying to export textures for the table from Substance Painter to Arnold.

I plan to practise with this style more and try to create more realistic looking pieces.
