Care for a glass?

Here's a little vector piece I did of a glass of wine and a bottle. I'm quite pleased with how the wine glass came out.



It's surprisingly difficult to do a semi-transparent object. I had more difficulty with the bottle than I did with the wineglass, but I managed to make both objects look decent. By dropping the opacity and adding a slight blur onto some of the darker and lighter shapes, I get a nice smooth look. If the vector objects/shapes are too sharp, the wineglass and bottle look very cartoon-y. The blur is supposed to help with the lighting and the shade.
