Bottle Candle holders
Buy some candles.If the bottom of the Empty Wine Bottles candles are a too big to fit get a safeknife and take away the edges so the candle fits snuggly inside the bottle. Let the candle gentle pour down around the bottle and change to different colored candles every so often this can make some fantastic effects.

The more wine tasting parties you have and go through a a large quantity of your best Burgundy then your collection of bottles will increase quite rapidly. Gather them all up stack them in the wine crate or box and carry them to your nearby bottle wholesaler. The wholesaler will be very happy to buy your empty wine bottles from you. May be enough for the next Burgundy.
Decoration
Buy or borrow a tool to cut glass and take out the bottoms of the bottle. Best is to select one of those nice colored bottles create a wire container for a small candle that fits in the bottle (hooks over the lip of the bottle at the top), and then put them up near a window. In the beginning it's not clear that there the bottle has no bottom, and people will be amazed how you got the candle inside the bottle. Don not forget to get everyone to visit for a bottle of rose wine and to admirelook at your piece of art.
Break and create Some Art Work
This is one of my favorite. Take your bottle wrap it in something like a old sack and then smash the bottle against a wall. Take care and lay down the sheet and take out the larger parts of smashed glass. With some extra strong glue simply place them on a bit of colored wood and away you go great Art work.
Take the label of and collect them.
Wet the bottles in somecold water only enough to make the labels slightly wet. Then very slowly take off the stickers. Once off place them inside some big books with a cloth or foil to protect the guide books from getting damp. When you get the wine labels you can use them for, a collection, artwork, or how about a paper mache wine bottle.
Make your own homemade cooking oils
Take the empty wine bottles to make your own flavored homemade salad dressings.
Buy a few fresh herbs - rosemary, thyme, dill, taragon, etc. and place them inside the bottles. Don't mix the herbs put only one herb in different bottles. Combine a few striped new garlic flavors and nuts. Next pour olive oil or vinegar to fill the bottle. Fried chiles and peppercorns also make a super spicey chile oil. Put the cork is also a good idea to collect all those nice flavours in the bottle.
Empty wine bottle oil Lamp
Another great idea for wine bottles is to make them into an oil lamp. A lot of DIY stores have a wine bottle oil lamp kit that comes with all the things you need excluding the bottle. They look great, and are great, especially for memento bottles.
