Spin the bottle help

Hello,
I am making a spin the bottle game. I can't figure out how to make the bottle's spin speed controlled by how fast you swipe your finger. I want it to work like the wheel of fortune, the faster you swipe the faster it spins.
Thanks!

    maybe this make more sense, the faster you swipe the more spin inertia it has.
    Please help!

    I'm not entirely sure, but this video might be helpful to you - it deals with moving objects as a factor of your finger's (or mouse's) movement.

    If I had to guess, you'll need an actor to track the finger's movement from point A to point B, and then use that as a factor in the rotational velocity.

    I would also look at the Throwing Objects video. I know you're not throwing objects, but this one has some application to what you're trying to accomplish.

    Thanks guys!
    Incase anybody was wondering, here is how I ended up doing it:
    I put a ball at the end of the bottle that had TB's throw technique on it. I then took the linear velocity(X,Y) from the ball and set that as rotation speed of the bottle. So the harder you flick/swipe the bottle the faster it will spin.
