We all love drinking wine; it is the liquor of the Gods. Drinking wine is a tradition as long as history itself. But what happens once you finish your expensive bottle of wine? Do you throw the bottle in the garbage? Do you save it for memories? Or you are like those DIY junkies who love reusing everything they can find? If you fall in the last category, we’ve got 20 tricks for you that will help you transform your empty wine bottle into something beautiful and new.
