i can appreciate the mood you were trying to set with this image....it would make a nice gift to your SO......since that's who you seem to be thinking of when you shot this....
it's not too dark over all.....but, i do think it could benefit with a different lighting configuration.....turing off your flash would be a good first move, but then your only light source would be the candle.....i suggest lighting the scene with a few out of the frame candles to shed light more light on your subjects...adding light without appearing in the image...try modeling them with candles to the right and left for a warm, more evenly lit scene....
to me, still life is all about structure.....so no, it's not too "perfect".....i think you're headed on the right path by reshooting with just one glass, but as another suggested, lowering your perspective on more of an even plane with the label of the bottle just might be the answer.......that does present the problem of choosing a suitable background as you would have in the frame both the surface that your subjects are sitting on as well as what's behind them.....sometimes, i solve that problem with fabric as in this image...
the reflections on your glass objects can be solved both by again turning off that flash or redirecting it onto a surface that will diffuse it's effect......
i'd love to see where you go with this....
