If you love a good wine and a stylish cheese platter, then this recycled flat wine bottle cheese board will be your new best friend. Not only does it combine two of life’s greatest pleasures, but it also gives a second life to old wine bottles, turning them into something functional and chic.
I stumbled across a similar piece at a friend’s gathering last year, and I couldn’t stop admiring it. The wine bottle was almost unrecognizable—transformed into a sleek, modern board for snacks and small bites. It’s the perfect conversation starter, and honestly, it brings a certain wow factor to any dinner party or casual gathering.
This cheese board isn’t just pretty; it’s practical too. The smooth surface is ideal for serving everything from crackers to fruit to your favorite cheeses. Plus, it’s an awesome example of recycling and upcycling, keeping those old bottles out of landfills while elevating your entertaining game.
Why we love it:
Made from recycled flat wine bottles, adding sustainability to your kitchen
A unique upcycled home decor item that’s also super functional
Ideal for wine lovers, eco-conscious hosts, or anyone who loves a good cheese board
Not only does this board make for a stylish and sustainable addition to your kitchen, but it also makes for an awesome gift for those who love eco-friendly entertaining.
Nice idea. I have seen watches made w/ tape measure bands but never thought of using buttons. There are alot of novelty buttons out there and this is a different, usuable way of displaying them.
