Maybe also try cutting the wick on the candle to a snub so the flame is way smaller as that's what appears to be blowing that area out. It's a tricky scene because whatever you do to bring up the darker areas if you stop down for the flame, the bottle will squeal on you. If you could put a big splay of light on the wall and ceiling behind the camera so it would bounce gently back on the scene filling out the shaded areas with what may appear to be an ambient light. I forget what camera your using and how much lighting you have. As Marko said a few hours with assistants and lots of (as Jas calls them" fiddly bits.) Not an easy shot to get right but great for practice.
