To drill a hole in a wine bottle you can use a Rigid 1/2″ diamond drill bit from Home Depot for 18+ tax. On a bench style drill press, with the wine bottle in a rectangle bucket and the bottle being held by an old towel and covered with water to keep the drill bit cool you can make a hole in less than 5 minutes. I’m not sure how many bottles the drill bit will do with this process but my guess is 100 or more based on just doing one and it was too easy but still take your time drilling because if you go too fast you can still break the bottle. Remember to practice safety first.

Hi
I love this!!! When you say drilling the hole is a slow process, about how slow?
Thanks,

My question is very simple. I want to make the string of wine bottles around my patio. 1st question, how are the bottles hung around like a covered patio area? 2nd question, how many strands of lights can be connected together? 3rd question, do red wine bottles work well in this project cuz the colors I want to use are red green and yellow. Sure could use the answer to all the questions. 🙂
