Glass bottles for homemade spirits and liquers

auntynet

I wanna buy about half a dozen fancy glass bottles to put home made baileys and vodka liquers in so that I can give them as presents. I've tried googling but I can only come up with wine bottles and I wanted something a bit nicer. Must be cheap or it defeats the object if you get what I mean.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

you can buy filled bottles of various oils, vinegars and alcohols from vom fass - might be worth asking them if they will sell you the bottles on their own.

Lakeland have some - but not sure if these work out too expensive when filled........ http://www.lakeland.co.uk/product.aspx/!11087_11086

Last year, from Aldi, I got some cheap balsamic vinegar in fancy bottles with handles on the side. I used the vinegar then reused the bottles to make plum vinegar for presents. The only problem I had was with the corks as I couldn't find any small enough so had to use normal ones from a wine kit and shape the bottom to fit.

Is it worth looking in somewhere like Poundland for fancy shaped bubble-baths then reusing the bottles?

I checked out vom fass and although they have some fantastic shaped bottles their prices are way out of my league and somehow I don't think they'd like it too much if I wanted their bottles to put my own home-made liquers in - I know I certainly wouldn't if I was in their shoes, but thanks for the idea, melancholly.

My DH also suggested poundland and I think that's where I'm headed tomorrow - I'll just have to put all the smelly stuff in the empty jam jars I got stashed in the kitchen cupboard..... should look rather interesting on the bathroom shelf. :rotfl:

Once again, a big thank you melancholly and chris25 for your ideas.
