Step 2Drill the bottle
Be sure to leave a label on the wine bottle (you can remove it later) to provide a little resistance in getting you hole started, otherwise use a strip of masking tape. Be sure to wear long sleeves, gloves, eye protection, and a dust mask. You'll be grinding out glass dust so take all safety measures seriously, its some pretty nasty stuff.
Start your drill hole about 1-2 inches above its base. Start slow and allow the label to provide a pseudo template for your hole. Drilling is slow going as it is more of a slow grinding process. Be patient and do not force the drill with too much pressure. It took me over an hour to drill the hole through this bottle. Pay attention when you are nearing breakthrough so as to not punch the other side of the bottle.

Why drill through the label? The label provides very special decoration for our favorite wine.
