Friday. Friends’ reunion. Friends that, as good wine tasters, got easily rid of some wine bottles (the Portuguese ones, of course). From this little meeting, have left few more than memories and corks (too many corks!). So, memories are easy to remember whenever you want (if you had lucky there are photos who can help the process), but corks are a pain in the a… butt, right? Worry no more. The New Yorker have suggested some tips that inspired us to write this article about how you can extend your corks’ lifes:

  1. Fill a glass jar to the brim with your corks. This is an inexpensive and easy way to find a decorative use for them. These type of jars look great on end tables!
  2. Fill another jar with corks, and this time toss in some marbles to spice up the display. These also look great on end tables. An end table entirely covered with them looks even better.
  3. Stuff corks in a wall as an added layer of isolation. The more corks you stuff, the less bags you have to carry to the garbage.
  4. Bury some corks in the dirt around your houseplants. This will not rid you of many corks, but each cork buried is one more that you’ll never have to deal with again.
  5. Grind the corks into mulch and put that in pillowcases. These cork pillows are great for guests with feather allergies or guests who’ve had too much wine to drink and have passed out. Place a cork in their pocket while they’re sleeping. That’s one more cork down.
  6. Pack your own pockets with corks before you leave home, and distribute them around the city. Remember: friends’ homes are a good alternative.
  7. Throw corks at weddings! They sort of look like rice. Try not to hit the bride and groom, as corks can cause serious damage.
  8. Eat corks! Pop a cork in your mouth from time to time. After a while, you’ll start to enjoy the taste, and eventually your body will figure out how to digest them.
  9. Finally, feel free to throw a few of those corks away! After all, you’re not superhuman. You’ve done your part, and there’s no way in hell you can get rid of them all at the rate you and your friends are drinking.
