Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Wine Bottles

Merlot, Shiraz or Chianti - they're all good to me; especially when enjoyed with good friends over a good meal. So why let the good times stop there? Wine bottles are doing double duty these days. You know it's a big trend when Pottery Barn is doing it. Wait, does that mean the trend is almost on it's way out? No mind. I don't really follow trends anyway. Wine bottles are being "upcycled" into great chandeliers, candle holders, vases and more...

Amazing stuff right? I would have never imagined, in a million years, that so many things could be done with a simple wine bottle. Oh, I also read a few posts mentioning wine bottles as rolling pins. You just fill them with small glass rocks or beads and then put them in the freezer I think. Crazy, but it sounds like it would work. What do I know... I don't bake unless I've got Betty Crocker by my side! xo
