Approximately twenty five years ago a new geological era was baptized: the »Anthropocene«. We humans leave behind innumerable everlasting traces on the surface, in the rivers and seas of our planet: concrete, microplastics, radioactive waste and much, much more. Among it Glass Bottles. And they are the subject of this booklet, strictly speaking Wine Bottles. The question is, what can we do with them other than discard them thoughtlessly. Can we give them a second life? And if, how?
Do-it-yourselfers listen! Or better look up! Here you have suggestions for beautiful, useful and decorative objects made of obsolete glass bottles.
To avoid waste means re-use old stuff, give it a second chance of life. And have a good feeling.
Next Christmas is just around the corner. Many people already enjoyed such an individual gift.

Geilert himself would never reject an excellent drop of wine. As eye and nose share the pleasure, he was always fascinated by the interaction of wine and bottle. When his wife opened a wine shop, they came into contact with wine makers almost all over Europe. And he started to cut the bottles and use the pieces for new purposes.
