MSNBC.com wants you to “go green” and drink wine from old windshields.  Sounds weird, but you can purchase Recycled Windshield Wine Glasses from UncommonGoods.com for $22.  They show us a ton of options for other kitchen goods that were made from recycled wine bottles, recycled rubber, recycled milk cartons, recycled juice cartons and more.

A Smarter Home & Garden reader turned me on to this cool aluminum wine tray from MuNiMulA ($98). It holds four wine glasses and a bottle of wine, stopping a spillage accident before it starts. You could also walk around at a party, delighting your friends with offerings of vino. Do it!

MuNiMula Wine Tray, $98.

This hip Bali wine rack takes by breath away.  It comes in red (pictured) or ebony, holds up to twelve bottles of your favorite vino and well, look at it! It’s dazzling.  It reminds me of one of those super expensive items you always see in the gift shops of modern art museums.  You know, the stuff you look at longingly and (if you’re even brazen enough to peep at the price tag) shudder when you see the cost of.

But this one’s on sale! That’s right, it’s only $64.99, marked down from $72.95. Not bad considering it’s made of wood.  Ooh, fancy.
