EMPTY WINE BOTTLE COLLECTING?

wordek thought this was worth mentioning said Thu, Sep 10th 2020 at 2:49pm ET

Random question for the users on here - I know some folks had mentioned keeping/collecting bottles in the past - especially back during the Wine Woot days. I’m doing a pre-baby clean up of my house, and I’m wondering if anyone in here would be interesting in collecting empties for some of those old creative labels? I have kept one of each of my WW favorites for my collection, but I have extra(s) of Quaffmor, Pour Pour Me, Phat Goose, Pouracle, Triacipedus (both of them), and many others… Some things may still be unconsumed (drinking moratorium vs. pregnancy LOL) - but I can also take requests/notes and contact info for those who’d have interest in the bottles I do have once they’re consumed too

Why are you shouting?
We have far too many empties of our own already, but you can do all sorts of fun things like turn them into candles.

At this point I’ve only kept signed bottles. I have peeled labels of ones I’ve liked, but I can’t keep everything. I don’t want to build a bottle house.

If I had the federation wines set, I’d keep them. I doubt they are worth the price to drink.

I know my daughter kept one from years ago that had a sort of horroresque label, but the was known in high school as the resident queen of eyeballs and it stuck as an unusual collectors item…

lets see what that does.
