Depends on what's causing the haziness.
Your best bet is to try some Barkeepers Friend and a toothbrush.
If that doesn't get the haze off, then you probably have a sick bottle, in which case tumbling it is the only well-known method for cleaning it.

I agree. It looks okay to me. One thing that might help is some Menial Oil and a buffer. If you have any other foggy bottles, try a large glad container. Fill it with with mostly Wink or lime remover, and the rest of the way with just water. Soak it till the foggy stuff is in the water and off the bottle.

Your bottle has etching and even though it appears the inside may be ok, it probably isn't. Many times when the outside looks like this, it appears the inside is fine, but, once the outside is clean, you realize the inside wasn't either.
I would tumble the bottle and it will look awesome - will need more than one turning - etching then polish.
Good luck
