    I have started to run out of space to display my empties. I like to put up one of each different kind that I drink. I know that one day it will become impossible to display them all, but for now, I am looking for space-saving and unique ways to display them. Any help is appreciated. Pictures of my current situation are forthcoming....

    Instead of stacking on top of each other, flip a row over and interlock the necks somehow. This will fit more.

    I saw a wire rack that holds bottles and fits over light fixtures and hangs from the ceiling. You can line them up in a mold on the floor, add expanding foam and turn them into. A coffee table.

    I don't know if there's any fracking out your way, but if there is, l hope those are secure!

    Dammit, I just can't seem to post a picture or link, but Google "80,000 beer cans" and you'll see a great idea...

    I've seen those being sold once. The volume is definitely smaller, although they take the same wall area I guess.

    The melting also isn't something most people would be able to do at house.

    There's a place you can send them to to get it done, but with all those bottles, you'd have to be rich to get them all done. Plus, flattening them makes them wider. My wife bought one once with an Abita Purple Haze label. She didn't
    notice at the time, but l noticed right away a little 'A' with an eagle symbol on the glass itself...it is a Budweiser bottle!

    I suppose that if you can find an inexpensive way to flatten your bottles like this, then hang them on the wall in a collage like the cans in this pic that I recently took while visiting a brewpub. These cans were screwed onto the lower wall as wainscoting in a large section of the restaurant associated with the brewery. But it's a cheap process to flatten these things.

    I kinda like that idea. Maybe even cut the cans' bottoms and tops off, cut the cylinder length-wise and roll it out flat, like a label. By the way, what brewery brews Arizona Fruit Punch?

    That would be Ferolito, Vultaggio & Sons - which started out as a beer distributor and then a (contract) brewer of brands like Mississippi Mud Black & Tan, Crazy Horse Stallion and Midnight Dragon, before the "Arizona" iced tea brand. :wink:

    Eventually you'll just have no space for them. That's why I only collect labels.

    But when it comes to bottles where the label is printed (like Stone) I just take a picture and throw it away.
