Speaking of whine, my neighbor bought a diamond drill bit about 3/8 diameter, and with my drill press we drill empty wine bottles down lo on the backside.....and we take a 2 buck extension cord, cut the end off, and run the wire through the hole and out the top of the bottle, I split and bare the ends, we cut the plug off some white Xmas tree lengths splice the wires, put on small wire nutz, and so to feed the lights down the bottle neck, and no matter the type of bottle, they light up nice for all sorts of stuffs....

some of the best are the painted bottles, or ones with somewhat translucent labels, and various colors of glass make for interesting.....


never done it with color lights yet, but I bet it would be even neater.....


~18 light strands are for most wine bottles, but he has put much larger/longer strands in larger ones....36? bulbs....

obviously the top has to remain open to let heat escape.....
