Used wine bottle uses?

[ak4786]

Anyone have any good ideas as to what I can use my empty wine bottles for? I am a wine sales rep and accumulate 50 to 60 a month. As of now I just toss them however I hate doing that as I know they have some value. Any resourceful people with ideas out there?

Make your own wine or beer and reuse the bottles. Or sell them to home brewers/winemakers. If you can beat the price of the stores that sell them, you'll make a few bucks/ Try Craigs List or some of the forums dedicated to home wine making or brewers.

Use them for target practice?

Place them around the house for those times you need to bash someone over the head with one.

Build scale model ships inside them?

Fill them full of colored sand and sell them on ebay?

DO NOT PROBE PEOPLE WITH THEM!!! having a wife that works in the medical field, you wouldnt believe what people do with bottles.

To be honest, I'd just recycle them. I don't think you 'd get much of a market for them. Oliver Winery gives away used bottles from their tasting room for free. They have a shed out back with thousands of bottles for the taking. THey encourage home winemakers to take them. Still, every week or so, they clean it out and refill it within a day.

Make the coolest set of glasses for yourself or give them away as a gift.

If they have a flat bottom, you can use them to learn flint knapping. I've heard folks say the bottoms make good arrowheads.

You can make lanterns out of them. Just put a flammable liquid in them, and use a wick. Look around online, there are a lot of projects using them. Many of them are decorative, but still practical. As others have said you could also use them for bottling.

I like those tumblers. I make guitar slides out of the necks. That takes care of both ends but there's still that pesky middle part. Bottle neck slides cost $10 if you have to buy them.

you could make funnels out of the middle... that'd be kinda neat..

Take them to Burger King and refill them with soda. They don't mind.

I'd be more than willing to take them off your hands. I make my own wine. Let me know if this could/would work for you!

Take a leak in them and line them up in front of your beer as a decoy. Just don't get too hammered yourself.

A couple out west used them as bricks and mortared them together into a house.

There may be a niche for wide mouth funnels. I've seen pictures of them being used as building material if not an entire house a decorative glass wall.
