My husband put new insulation at our attic last weekend. We bought 10 rolls at Lowes thinking that it would be enough but it only covered like 20% of our attic arghhh.. That means we still have to shell out more money to buy materials in order to completely insulate the attic. Hopefully this can be a tax deductible expense and that our gas bill would be much lower this winter.
My husband said that this would be a nice collection so I washed them and put it in our wine rack. Hubby even plans to plant some grapes next year and have our grapevine there. Maybe we could learn how to make wine in the future lol. If that happens, all I need to buy is corks for our wine bottles lol.

What an amazing find. I put insulation in our house in France last year but found nothing of interest! It did though make a difference by a couple of degrees warmer. Diane
sosy pala yung dating may ari, may winery sa attic hehehe
What an interesting discovery! And hey, maybe those bottles are worth a mint. I know I, for one, am gaga about vintage items. :D
wow! what a treasure....:) ang dami sis ano...bat ngayon nyo lang yan na discover...ehehehe!
Actually sis, matagal na naming nakita yan, di ko lang pinagtuunan ng pansin hehehe
Cute siya..Visit you back...

And you know what caught my eye? That beautiful birdhouse you have in one of the photos! Very neat!
Wow, you have so many empty bottles of wine there. Is there nobody that buys old recyclable bottles in your place? Anyway, making wine is a lot harder than John thinks and the investment is quite big. And you should have the knowhow and technology to do it. I hope you can complete the insulation of your attic in time for the winter season. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.
Quite a find! I like the bottles in the rack, they really look good!
Thanks for the visit!
Don't recycle them. If you're not going to use them (and I suspect your husband will) then you can sell them to a collector as Spinninglovelydays suggested.

My home was built in 1880 and we've found many treasures. The bottles are beautiful and would look stunning used in a Christmas vignette.

very interesting bottle collection
What a fun find in your attic.
My grandfather made wine in his basement during prohibition. He was from Hungary and couldn't get by without his wine.
Those old bottles are beautiful. They'll be even better filled with your homemade wine.
oi ka swerte..naka hanap ng treasure sa attic hehehe
my FIL makes their own wine too! He makes muscadine wine... masarap sya! Im sure kaya ni john yan!
Beautiful bottles, and as two of your commenters mentioned; they may be worth a mint.
Love the bottles. They make great colorful shadows and look great in the wine rack. Nice find. As for the insulation, it may be costly now but will save you so much in the long run. It WILL make a difference. Thanks for sharing!!
What a lot of bottles.
I wonder you had not explored the attic before insulating it. Love the green shadow and I too think you were lucky to be left so much brewing equipment.
Great find--those old bottles cast such lovely shadows.
Pretty bottles :)
Thanks everyone for the added valuable thoughts!
