Etsy seller Stil Novo Design makes beautiful furniture out of old wine-barrels. I remember visiting the Bushmill’s distillery in N. Ireland and asking what they did with their barrels after they were finishing converting grain to ambrosia, and the tour-guide said, “Oh, a man from town turns them into rubbish bins.” I was agog. I wanted to furnish my entire house with them!
