We have a local Olive Garden that I frequent often. Every time I go there I give the wait staff and management a hard time (jokingly) about giving me a few of their empty bottles........... they won't do it!
I have dumpster dived there about 6 dozen times and not one bottle can be found in the dumpster, not even a broken one.......... What do they do with them?

Theyhaveto recycle them. Some places have told me that they could not think of any better way to recycle them than to give them to a wine maker. That way they would be recycled (reused ) over and over. Yet they can not give them away.

Another way to collect empty wine bottles to reuse is
... drink wine!
Aside from dumpster diving, begging from friends, relatives or strangers who work in bars/restaurants, you can put out the word to everyone you know in the neighborhood or at work that you would like to collect their empty wine bottles... if you don't want to tell them it's for making wine, just say it's for a "craft" project.

I have started telling them that I only do refills. No bottle, no wine. It has not worked yet. They just beg for another bottle. When I bottle I have learned to use at least six bottles that I do not like. That way I can give away the ugly bottles.
