Ok, not the wine itself but rather the corks from the wine bottles. When you are out and about or relaxing at home and enjoying a glass of wine or two, save the corks for a little design accent in your space. Add them to...
...a large glass votive. By recycling the wine corks, you are creating a neat design element in your home. And the cork and glass textures look great together!

I used corks in my halloween decorating last night:

the best wine as decor I've ever seen was a couple that used wine crates for their bathroom flooring. Stunning DIY...
It was in Domino originally, but here's a blogger that covered the story...

Or you can make an awesome art piece or bulletin board using your old corks:

Can anyone tell where the candle is from?
I've set up pretty much the same thing as this post, except in the center, I have a reed diffuser.
CozyLittleCave,
I absolutely love the wine crates floor as well as the leather belt floor. The belts reminded me of this rug (which I hope to make some day): http://www.modernests.com/2008/11/i-wish-i-thought-of-it-leather-belts-rug.html
I used to date a guy whose family would save every cork, and write the date and the occaision on it. Like, "Aug. 13--Walk on Superior beach" or "June 20--Krissy's Wedding." Then they'd put it by a framed photo of the event, or in a box for the less-momentous events.
To me, it's too sentimental. But they really liked the whole idea of it and I can see how others would too, so I thought I would share.
In one of the photos in the new CB2 catalog, there's a vase filled with wine corks.
