possibly
Sorry man, didn't mean to seem rude with my photoshop comment. I think you could make it more believable if you make it follow the curve of the glass, as it would in real life. Also, some noise and very slight blur might make it sit more naturally in the comp.

Jay... you gotta' see some of Kai's shots and then you'll realize that he's only trying to help.
The shot looks nice, but if you want to push it to pro then definitely be open to the criticisms of one.
Me? I love the shot... but I'm not getting paid to do work like that... I'm pretty sure kai is making a good living with it.

no problem bro , i did not think you were rude. i just wanted to see what you ment. yeh your right, i dont put alot of time on the text rather i work to get a good image, the text i just make it up quick to coplete it.]
Hey Matt, thanks for the kind words. I do appreciate it.
JayJay- Here's a quick n' dirty example of a different text treatment. You mentioned just throwing your text on there to complete it, but you should really put some thought into what comprises your final images. Nomatter how great the photo may be, if you don't put sufficient care and attention into the post and design, you could handicap a great shot.
This is just a quick idea. Another idea, in your shots you might play around with condensation. It usually sells a beverage to the viewer when it looks cold and inviting (just look at all the beer ads). I know this is vodka, but it's just food to spark some ideas perhaps.

Kai i have a question, i just looked at you website, man greay images, i love them, i want to know when im taking picuteres how come the color is not a good as those images, i use a canon 20D soon a 5D. your colors were so good, is it the camera the settings or is it done in post. thank you this will be very apreciated.
The condensation is actually just a comp of another image plate, put on top of the glass with blending modes.
Thanks about the photo comment Jay. I shoot all my stuff on Canon gear as well. I usually change the color matrix in the menus (usually to number 2, not sure what yours has). Then its really a matter of proper exposure. That alone will give you a nice saturation and pop to the image. If it needs a lil tweaking in photoshop i'll run levels, curves, hue & sat, etc on it to ease it into where it should be.
