I used the pen tool to draw the outline of the right half of a wine bottle.
I also drew the outline of the right half of a wine glass and duplicated it.
I then used the pen tool to draw the right half of the wine in the bottle and each glass. The line had to have a left edge exactly even with the bottle/glasses left edge and the right edge had to be within the right edge of the bottle/glass.
I then changed the stroke color and opacity of the items to:
Wine bottle: Green with 25% opacity
Wine glasses: Light grey with 15% opacity
Wine: Deep red with 60% opacity
I then grouped each item's outline and it's corresponding wine outline into groups.
This was necessary to ensure that in the next step the items are rendered as one with the wine inside the bottle/glass rather than as seperate items layerd over each other.
I then used the effect>>3D>>Revolve feature to turn each of the three groups into a 3D object.
I then used the 3D revolve effects surface options to add two sources of light to the items:
One from behind the items
One from the front right overhead
I chose these two sources since the items will be used in the final project with a sun light source from behind and a ceiling light from above.
I then created the wine label for on the bottle.
I used the rectangle tool to create a square with a beige fill and three smaller rectangles with strokes for the three boxes.
I used the pen tool and 3D revolve effect to create all the grapes at different tones of blue.
I used the pen tool to create the path that the vineyard name follows and a standard text box for the wine name.
I chose the vineyard and wine because I wanted a red wine and this was listed in the top 10 wines on foodandwine.com
I applied the texturizer effect to the label to give it a heavy paper feel.
I also created the tin foil for the top of the bottle.
I used the rectangle tool to create a rectangle with a red fill of the same color as the wine.
I then applied the smudge stick artistic effect to give it a crinkled tin foil effect.
I then turned each of the items into symbols so that they can be mapped to the bottle.
I then used the 3D revolve tool's mapping tool to map the wine label and tin foil symbols onto the bottle.
