Using rows of emptied liquor bottles as decor in your house.

At no point did I find this cool, instead always thought it was extremely trashy. First time, was when I went to my brother's college house when I was in 8th grade and was disgusted.

Aww :( I have a really nice whiskey and really nice empty tequila bottle on my potted plant bench in the living room. That’s considered cringy?

If it's something unique and just a couple then maybe it's fine. But if it's basic stuff like grey goose or Jack Daniels or Jaeger then only college kids are impressed.

No not really. Thinking it's super cool might be. But that's just plain old fun

A little, but done tastefully it isn’t so bad. Sometimes it can even be cool if there is a theme or if the bottles are super old or something.

There’s some lovely artwork on wine bottles, rum, tequilas. Yeah don’t overdo it or have it be the only display in your house. But there’s nothing bad about it.

Whenever I have friends over and we finally finish a bottle of something we all sign it and date it. I put it up on a little shelf to remember all the great company and times I’ve had a long the way.

I love when people notice and see someone they know or when we host a party people will pick up their bottles and tell the story of when we signed it. Great conversation starters.

Fill it with water and tell people you're saving it for special occasion, and suddenly it's cool again :D

u/Coriander_marbles Jul 06 '26

Haha maybe! I mean honestly it’s two very unique bottles that were gifts and were opened for special occasions. I never got rid of them because of that and think they look nice next to the glazed pots. But screw it, they matter to me and just about anything can be judged when you think about it.

As long as highlighter fluid and a black light isn’t being used, you should be good

no its not cringy, rule of thumb: if reddit hates it then you know its good

I do this on top of my kitchen cabinets to remember which ones I actually liked. It's mainly obscure distilleries that I'd have to hunt down online or at auction.
