3d transform
select the cylinder tool thingy....
make a cylinder shaped like your bottle
rotate the cylinder to line it up with the text like you want....
then presto.......either it works or doesnt Very Happy Laughing Laughing

I don't really like that tool, but I have used it before.
Good luck....maybe someone can tell you a better way

Alltough the following tutorial might be a bit too far fetched for 'just' a text it might come in handy
