How can I use wine bottles in a way that looks classy?
I've got a whole bunch of empty wine bottles given to me. The bottles are so beautiful, I hate to trash them. But I also don't want to use them in a way that just looks cheesy. Is there a classy way to use empty wine bottles?

I always save blue ones and put them in my windows. I love the light coming through them. I also stick the top part of a solar light in the top and see the blue glow at night. I don't think it's cheesy.
If you have plants, you can use them for self watering bottles.
