624086 Sun May 31 23:01:37 -0700 2009 14 41 Cookware 0 4731553 I am picking walnuts to make nocino and vin de noix. I'd like to give some as gifts. I'll need attractive bottles. I'm looking for slim, glass bottles with corks. About 200ml in size. Anyone know where I could get them in the Los Angeles area or online? Sun May 31 23:01:37 -0700 2009 17969 rainey 1 4731686 I think the bottles used for olive oil would be pefect (if a little big). This, without the pattern was what I was thinking http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.jackryn.com/images/olive%2520oil%2520bottle%2520small.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.jackryn.com/Autumn_accessories&usg=__czdnP31a5Ui_NcsLJc7BBDCABJc=&h=335&w=335&sz=14&hl=en&start=60&um=1&tbnid=akDZPMACupnI5M:&tbnh=119&tbnw=119&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dolive%2Boil%2Bbottle%26ndsp%3D20%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26start%3D40%26um%3D1 But an image search of "olive oil bottle" brought up very nice shapes Mon Jun 01 03:42:37 -0700 2009 4731553 180623 Soop 2 4737151 Specialty Bottles may have just what you're looking for. Just checked - they have both 250 ml and 500 ml corked bottles. They're nice to deal with, great prices, quick shipping, all kinds of cool bottles ( I just bought some cobalt spice jars) www.specialtybottles.com Tue Jun 02 16:37:53 -0700 2009 4731686 47777 janeh 3 4740873 I have bought bottles and corks for homemade liqueurs from Specialty Bottles and been happy. Wed Jun 03 19:42:40 -0700 2009 4737151 10074 Caitlin McGrath 1 4731784 A google search for "empty bottles" will turn up lots of sources. Here's one which offers wine bottles, beverage bottles, sauce, oil & vinegar bottles, pharmaceutical bottles & on -- and on. http://tinyurl.com/n7c3la Have fun finding the perfect bottle for your nocino! Mon Jun 01 05:31:47 -0700 2009 4731553 11069 fauchon 1 4732279 I'd check Ikea and Cost Plus World Market. Mon Jun 01 08:48:41 -0700 2009 4731553 86802 vanillagorilla 1 4732637 I just saw this posted on another blog: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/storage/new-ikea-favorite-slom-bottle-with-stopper-086096 Mon Jun 01 10:37:25 -0700 2009 4731553 193208 pass 1 4742137 Thanks, you guys. Your suggestions inspired a new way to frame the google search and I came up with these http://www.wholesaleglassbottles.com/906005-volcano-clear-glass-200ml-european-bo90600520012167.html Now all I'll have to do is figure out a way to get a label on them. Thu Jun 04 09:30:35 -0700 2009 4731553 17969 rainey 2 4743239 Those bottles are really pretty, rainey, and I think the'd make stunning gifts filled wit your homemade liqueur. It looks like you could slap a label on the wide part of the bottle okay, but I'd worry that the labels would mar the attractiveness of the bottles, filled with pretty liqueur. I have dealt with this when giving liqueurs in pretty bottles by buying tags with a hole and tying them around the neck of the bottle with a thin ribbon. You can't print these on a computer, of course, but I found silver tags at a stationaery shop and wrote neatly with a Sharpie. I put the name of the liqueur on one side (facing out), and wrote a few ideas for using it on the other. Thu Jun 04 15:35:02 -0700 2009 4742137 10074 Caitlin McGrath 3 4744065 Excellent thought! Thanks. There are 2 other candidate bottles on that site. One is a sphere and one is a squat cylinder. They have some hot stuff! Thu Jun 04 21:29:46 -0700 2009 4743239 17969 rainey 4 4752289 Wow, those look great! I'm considering them myself now (although god knows what to put in them). And an excellent suggestion on labelling from Caitlin. *edit* you know what? If I get my ass in gear this year, maybe they could make good xmas presents - make up a batch of eggnog, and maybe some infused spirits - vanilla vodka, cranberry vodka and some kind of brandy. Something seasonal, yet tasty. Mon Jun 08 06:32:50 -0700 2009 4744065 180623 Soop 1 4804831 I'm looking for the exact same thing, except I only need four bottles and need them by saturday... which rules out most of these sites since they require larger orders and can't ship in 24 hours. Anyone know stores in NYC that sell these sorts of glass bottles (other than Broadway panhandler)? I know they must exist.

Thu Jun 25 16:21:04 -0700 2009 4804831 17969 rainey 2 4808302 The Container Store might have something, as well as Zabar's, but oddly enough, this has been a problem for a long time - there used to be a couple of places with an unusual selection of empty bottles but they succumbed to Manhattan's commercial rents years ago. You could try posting on the Outer Boroughs board but I wouldn't hold out too much hope. Fri Jun 26 08:59:57 -0700 2009 4804831 11980 MikeG 3 4820707 Thanks, I ended up just ordering online and delayed giving the recipients their gifts by one week. I'll keep sur la table and container store in mind for next year. Wed Jul 01 06:59:20 -0700 2009 4808302 203536 Spends Rent on Food
