    We assume of course, that the tree in question is a Scotch Pine. ;)

    Wonderful idea. I go to Gambia for our winter and one of the restaurants out there has a 20' metal frame in the shape of a "christmas" tree which only has lights and wine bottles on it. It looks great. so looking forward to the pictures of yours.

    That's a dream Christmas tree come true. I'll bet the guys got a kick out of that present. Any bottles left?
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    My father, brother, 3 uncles and I had all we wanted to drink from the tree that night, no one got drunk, and we all took a few bottles home.

    But, are there any bottles remaining, today? Did any of you save some for souvenirs? I probably would have saved one of each kind, ... until I got real thirsty.
