I'd put in a tile backsplash. Stick with a solid color tile so your bottles won't get visually lost. Solid color doesn't have to be boring, look for interesting shapes or textures, and play around with different colors of grout to make a statement. The one in your picture looks very similar to the 2nd picture below.

I will suggest you to go with a teal or muted green to add freshness. kitchen needs to look lively and fresh.

Hi,  Go for Jet black granite for counter top. It would look classy with your white ceramic wash basin and beige wall tiles. And go for above counter wash basin.
