Well, I said I was making a few, and here they are :)
They work great, and I am pretty happy with them. Again, not sure what wood they are made from, though I believe they are oak. I put a cherry stain on one, and a deep walnut on another. I have a few that are also unstained that I have not put any finish on yet. I drilled mine 90 degrees and the angle on the bottom is ~30 degrees. hole is 1 3/8” and that seems to be the size most people use for drilling the hole.
I am sure I will be making a lot of these, as it’s a great way to use up some of the longer scrap you get from some jobs!
thanks for checking it out!

forgot to mention, the bottle on the left is full of water, and the bottle on the right is empty, so with a bit of adjusting where the neck sits in it, they will hold up quite well :)

Great work. I was wondering when you were going to post some holders. Glad you got to it. Now it’s time to make that left bottle look like the right bottle. Cheers!

Thanks The Head Chuck! I am making a whole load of these today, at least 12 so far. I am going to have my mom put them up for sale in her pizza place with some other craft items she sells. Hope to make a few bucks off of them :)
Unfortunately, that is only water in the left bottle, wine doesn’t last too long around my wife :P
I am not much of a wine drinker, I like the stuff, but honestly it goes straight to my head, more than 2 glasses and I am good to go. I don’t drink much these days, so I am a bit of a light weight I guess…
I have noticed that the cut angle on the bottom changes depending on the thickness of the wood, or maybe the over-all length. The angle I used on the two pictured here doesn’t work as well on the ones I am making today, so it takes a bit of tweaking each one to make sure it works with both the full and empty bottles.

Not my idea, but thanks!
They are super easy to make, and they work great!
