If you're a regular wine drinker like myself and environmentally conscious, you likely have a LOT of wine corks lying around. The corks are great reminders of bottles past but they can also be a Martha Stewart-esk project for your next rainy weekend. I created a trivet out of my favorite bottle corks several years ago, it makes a wonderful yet functional accent to my dinner table. How very metro-sexual of me! I'm in the process of filling a large demijohn with the rest.Not crafty but still want to do your part for the environment? Your local Whole Foods store will take your corks and recycle them for you. If you've ever seen cork flooring, it's beautiful and primarily comes from recycled cork.
Cheers!

When you are at a wine bar or restaurant that features wine (rather than just has a 'wine list'), ask the server or bartender for corks. I have gotten several hundred this way for my 'cork boards' and serving trivets.
Excellent idea, I'll try that!
