If there are two things that say Christmas (other than presents and a good mince pie), they’re a great Christmas tree and alcohol.

Silver Oak Cellars has masterfully combined the two, creating a giant Christmas tree made out of empty wine bottles. Wine not?

A Silver Oak tradition (H/T Delish) they’ve been creating their bottle-themed Christmas tree each year, using 500 empty bottles and a specially designed wine rack. The best part? Someone had to drink that wine first.

We volunteer for Christmas 2016.


The tree stands at 16 feet, and has fairy lights dotted throughout for some extra twinkle.

We’d highly reccommend making a batch of mulled wine, then using the leftover bottles to create your own tree.



Maybe a mini one, just for health reasons.
