Default Recycling Used Wine Bottles

Hello, I have a lot of used wine bottles sitting around and I'm trying to
come up with various craft ideas to do with the bottles. So far all I've
come up with is making a wall out of the bottles, but that's it. Does
anyone else have any ideas for what to do with old wine bottles???

I'm sure that some home winemakers will gladly tagke them off your
hands and re-use them for you.

Funny that.

I'm downstairs Right Now cleaning wine bottles. If you have good
empties and care to donate them to someone in Rochester, NY.... and if
they're 'decent' bottles without those **** metallic labels, I could
very well take'm for ya. I'll craft them nice and carefully

I cut the tops out of some years ago. Then they could be used for
glasses/vases.

There was a company at the Great British Beer Festival last summer
making all kinds of things out of flat bottles. The cheese boards made
from magnum bottles looked good. You could even supply your own bottle.
