The magic wand tool is by far the simplest way to do this. If the bottle cap is white but slightly different in color from the background (which it seems like it is, if you got it to work using levels), you can try changing the tolerance of the magic wand tool. The lower the tolerance, the more sensitive it is to subtle color changes.



If you're using version CS6 or above, the tolerance should be in the options bar right under the menu bar. I'm not sure about earlier versions.

So try selecting around the bottle cap first with a low tolerance, and delete that part. Then continue with the rest of the background, setting a higher tolerance.

Note that you can hold Shift and click to add to your selection or Alt/Option to subtract from the selection.
