Only if you don't properly seal up the smaller bottles.

There are other costs to the book, but once you have the edited manuscript in digital form, and cover art in digital form, the cost of producing the ebook is almost zero.
There are some per unit costs for ebook production, related to the DRM, however if I remember correctly, that cost is covered by the retailer and not the publisher, so it could be argued as some what of a moot point, depending on the angle you're talking about. From the publishers stand point, there is no per unit cost, only the fixed costs. All the other costs are covered by the retailer, such as the credit card fees, DRM licensing, server costs, etc. Unfortunately though, Agency pricing doesn't really effectively address those costs.
