Yes, you can obtain relief if your ball is in a bunker and is obstructed by a bottle or other movable obstruction. According to the Rules of Golf, you may remove the obstruction without penalty and then play your ball from its original position. If the ball lies in a position where it cannot be played due to the obstruction, you can take free relief by dropping the ball in a designated relief area within the bunker. However, if the bottle is fixed or considered an integral part of the course, you would have to play the ball as it lies.
