A Zin-filled weekend, BottleHood has been invited by the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance during Saturday night’s Zin Tasting and Wine Country Auction. Tumblers, vases, light fixtures, votives, cheese trays, condiment bowls and pendant beads will all be on display, as well as BottleHood’s donation toward the auction.
Come by and say hello!

BottleHood is in YOUR Hood
BottleHood products will be featured at Sea Rocket Bistro this Saturday at North Park Nights. Here is a write up done by the Sea Rocket Bistro. Hope to see you all there!
We’re coming up on another North Park Nights this Saturday, and to celebrate some more local art, we’ll be featuring beautiful, recycled glassware from Steve at BottleHood as well as other recycled art in the form of Leslie’s Proverbial Printz. BottleHood collects used beer, wine and liquor bottles from local restaurants and turns them into tumblers and vases. So you could be enjoying glowing candlelight from a bottle that you once drank wine out of during a previous visit to the bistro! This is just another great example of a local business helping to reduce waste, and even keep recyclables out of the process to begin with.
St Germain Liquor Bottle VASE
This bottle of St Germain is an extraordinary French-made elderflower liqueur, and the bottle makes for a gorgeous vase! Released early in 2007, this liquor was all the rage at Tales of the Cocktail and in news outlets from the NY Times to the magazine “Out.” The vase is clear and is very heavy for its size. Extraordinary in its shape, a unique cut, it’s truely a one of a kind piece! This vase is a perfect for any table or shelf and is a perfect holiday gift for the eco-friendly person!

We work glass as if it’s a gem stone, and finish it like a piece of jewelry. We do not use kilns, or high energy equipment.
Fun at the La Jolla Farmers Market!
This past Sunday we were at the La Jolla Farmers Market and had a great time! We got a pretty good spot but
Getting bottles ready for the La Jolla Farmers Market
were forced to suffer with the smells of garlic and roasting flesh all morning! One of our neighboring vendors, a holistic healer, bought a vase for her flower arrangement right off the bat. It was one of our new extra large vases made from a Yellowtail Cabernet from Australia! Lots of ooos and ahhs and we’re looking forward to the beginning of the gift buying season in La Jolla. There was also an Open House going on lower Girard and our vases are being displayed at Adelaide’s Florist just down the street. The big winner was Leslie with a single sale of 18 of her nearly famous digital prints. They can be seen at www.proverbialprintz.com or at http://www.etsy.com/shop/ThisnThatCafe. Come on out and see us at the La Jolla Farmers any weekend between now and Christmas!
Did you know?
We’ve challenged ourselves to avoid waste, looking for ways of producing and using goods that stop waste from being generated, conserving our natural resources. And we all know how many wine, beer, and liquor bottles a single bar, hotel or restaurant can go through in one night. Now multiply that by the thousands of establishments in the San Diego area alone, many of which go straight to the landfill!
Did you know…
- Californians consumed 600 million wine bottles last year
Two gorgeous blue Saratogas!
- 450 million of California’s wine bottles end up in landfills
- The cost to state and local government for collection and disposal is over $50 million per year and growing.
- A modern glass bottle would take more than 4000 years to decompose in a landfill.
The team at Bottlehood firmly believes in incorporating the triple bottom line (environmental protection, economic development, and social equity) and the goal of sustainability into its business operations. This can be seen throughout our operation, and will continue to be our main priority as we grow in the future.
Welcome to our blog!
Welcome to the BottleHood blog!
BottleHood was created out of a passion to help our environment, create local jobs and stimulate our local retail economy. The company was founded by a couple of folks in San Diego who took their concerns for the environment and the local economy and decided to “do” something about it.
BottleHood has taken a stand on keeping bottles which have no California Redemption Value (CRV) out of California’s landfills or sent overseas to be recycled. In the process, BottleHood produces a line of uniquely handcrafted tumblers and vases made from bottles whose contents were enjoyed in our neighborhood. We hire local craftspeople, who also share our concerns for the environment and the local economy, to produce our line of glassware.
BottleHood is just really all about our neighborhood; helping extend the life of discarded glass, creating jobs and stimulating our local economy. Its simple, BottleHood is good for our neighborhood!
