@''We were just discussing the Bethlehem Lights "branches".
'It would be nice to have an empty wine bottle or two to hold these graceful items and place them in a strategic spot.

No, I don't. They go into the recycling bin. I already have enough dust collectors.

Not really, I just recycle mine. Though I do have an old vintage chianti bottle with the straw on it that has a candle in it of course, LOL. Also years ago DH made me a "lighted" bottle out of a special edition Rolling Stones wine bottle. I keep it on my bar and light it up at night, I love it. Other than that though I don't see a use for them.

I have an old champagne bottle that I've kept through the years with my initial on it. I have fairy lights in it. I don't drink sweet wines but have a friend who does and she saved all her cobalt blue bottles for my bottle trees outside. Those are the only times I've saved any bottles.

I have a bottle tree. Sometimes there are blue bottles on it, other times a mix of red and green. Depending on the holiday or sporting events determines this. I live near two wineries and in a recycling town with many restaurants!

I also collect cat wine bottles in different colors which sit next to my fireplace, these as well, change with the season or occasion. I have bought all of these. If there is not a color I want, I use the clear one and put food coloring in the water in the bottle.

@goldensrbest Yes, I use empty wine bottles to store veg oil and EVOO. I also have a hard time getting rid of (Mason type) jars pasta sauce comes in. I use those for storing dry beans.

Depending on the state you live in, many have a deposit on them and are supposed to be taken to a redemption center.

As for keeping a wine bottle for any other use? No.

There are several ideas.

Do these on a table, bathroom or in the kitchen. They would also be pretty on a tray in the fireplace.

My first thought was to reuse them as flower vases and for serving water refills at a sit down dinner table.

@ECBG And to think I just trashed 3 bottles. A reason to buy more wine and start drinking it. I especially loved the second pic. I'm going to do that with my future bottles.

P.S. Where do you find all the beautiful pics you post? Really enjoy them.

I goggled "table scapes with wine bottles. I knew with all of the informal tables and weddings in the past few years I'd get examples.

I taught Interior Design and wrote curriculum design in that area for 10 years.

@ECBG , Pretty , i like those pictures.

@ECBG The more I look at pic #2, I wonder how those fairy lights stay lit. I thought they all came with a battery pack. Probably should look more closely at what Amazon has. And the wine I drink only comes in clear glass bottles. Think I have to start drinking the (good) stuff.

You are so kind.

I google image the description of what I want. Having taught I Design, I knew decor on a table for a dinner was a "tablescape". Since 2010, I have been a professional stylist for the most part, dressing women from 8 states. I am from a line of artists and designers.

You can google image adjectives of what you're thinking. of.

The site Terrain can be fun to look at.

You can see what I do for Christmas at "Here's My Country Christmas".

I love wine bottles. I would buy wine just to get a certain bottles. Sometimes I glue beads on them in different styles. My friends would give me their bottles and I will decorate them and give them back. I just had two clear ones cut different sizes and put different color marbles and they look beautiful on her mantle.

Using them for oil and vinegar with a wine stopper works very well also.
