Both my children gave up the bedtime bottle right around age 2. We just "gave" all the bottles to a baby who "needed" them and never looked back. Both of them had a hard time for about 3 days and were sad about it. I had to read many extra bedtime stories but they got over it pretty quickly. My kids had a very hard time falling asleep on their own. I sat with them a lot longer and read stories and cuddled them. But everyone does it differently! I bet it is even easier at age 1.
