Recycling unwanted wine bottles is of course a must. Glass is 100% recyclable and can be endlessly reprocessed with no loss of quality, helping to conserve non-renewable fossil fuels and reduce the emission of harmful gasses into the atmosphere.

However in the spirit of upcycling, where old products are given a new lease of life rather than being recycled, why not consider turning your empty bottles into a nifty gadget, decorative feature or even a piece of furniture? You would be amazed at the number of ways in which a wine bottle can be put to good use, long after you have enjoyed its contents.

We have scoured the web to bring you some of the most creative uses for your empties. Click through to find out more…

   Excellent article! These wine bottle uses are incredible. Most products are recycled and reused which are also best in reducing waste. Certainly, i will try one at home. In fact, i have already purchased an excellent wine and i have stumbled upon an article at http://mywinecanada.com/wineblog/pair-white-wine-red-meat/ which suggests that wine are great with red meat. So, i’ll definitely cook tonight! Then, i’ll use the bottle for making my own masterpiece. Thanks for sharing this post!

   Glass is most definitely not “…100% recyclable and can be endlessly reprocessed with no loss of quality, helping to conserve non-renewable fossil fuels and reduce the emission of harmful gasses into the atmosphere.” I’m an ecologist and a conservationist. I would love to talk about the falacies of that statement. That being said, reusing is much more sustainable, and I love that this article hits on that. I would love to see more of these clever ideas.
