Wine corks mean different things to different people.
To some, it's a reminder of a special time with friends or a loved one where to others it's a reminder of that special bottle that tasted incredibly, cost a fortune or was a collectors item.
In my line of work there is no shortage of empty wine bottles and to stem the flow of trips to the recycling depot I started recycling them in a different way.
It all started when I couldn't find a decent storm lantern to use outside in the summer when it was breezy - the candles all got blown out and with it the ambience.
