It's a great improvement!
...But, <looking at a red Chianti wine bottle at the moment>, I think the
neck should be just a little (~1 cm) shorter. The glass textures look a bit
*glowing*, as if you were using too high ambient or diffuse values. I would
use ambient 0 and diffuse ~0 (0.05 is what I usually, well... use). I'd also
use a darker texture for both the green_bottle glass and the wine liquid
(which looks too transparent now). If you're using POV 3.5 (I doubt it,
since you're a Linux guy) or MegaPov try also fresnel reflection and
fade_color.
Keep up the good work.
