I was too lazy to draw the lighting diagram, so I decided to recreate the shot, to show the setup.
I used one light source: Elinchrom RX3000+ Rotalux 100x100cm modified with black vinyl sheet
Placing the glass in the center of softbox is a good starting point. For controlling the light and quality of the rims you have several degrees of freedom: A - you can change the distance between softbox and object B - you can move change the height of softbox C - you can twist the softbox D - you can tilt it
just experiment! :)
Please also note: For this explanatory shot I used apple juice insted of wine :) I also used lab support stand with clamp to hold the glass steady in tilted position (instead of nr 7, used in this picture)
