Yes, this is the correct structure make sure the underlying objects that

need to be changed (in this case color) need to be symbols that will be

reused in creating different versions of the bottles.

To change color use color tween on the components that need to be

changedand recombine into a new bottle symbol that is composed

completely of symbols.
