Do y'all save glass alcohol bottles? Or glass bottle in particular?

If I saved glass alcohol bottles, I would definitely be dealing with a neighborhood zoning problem.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

I keep the 1.75L for drinking water storage. A decent glass container is exactly that. I could use some gallon ones though.

Maybe inflation will put a spot glass price out for recycling.

Used to save re-usable beer bottles, then moved to a boat and don't have room to brew my own beer any more.

Yes, I have many cases of 700 ml bottles for homemade wine and someday my own hard booze (for, ahem!, medicinal purposes). Also have several cases of beer bottles for homemade brew.

Glass bottles are the most expensive component of homemade wine and beer making, so I never throw them away.

Last time I heard, Federal law allows for an individual to make up to 400 gallons per year. You cannot sell it!! Don't even try!

You sure can share it with your friends as gifts! Makes everyone happy at Christmas time. :D
When I die, I want to go like Grandpa did. He died in his sleep..... Not screaming and hollering like all the passengers in his car.

where's the law on home brewing alcohol? i'm sure there is one. especially since the prohibition era. but i've never had the need to read that law. not even when they sell homebrewing gifts at the major department stores!

Only home brew in these parts will knock your socks off after a couple pulls :D
