A curious artist collected empty wine bottles from New York City clubs & restaurants which hosted lavish Wall Street parties. These empty bottles are "slumped' and transformed into classy cheese trays or decorative art plaques. The wine bottle label and vintage is a great conversation piece.
Futher Info
"Original Meadowcroft vintage wine cheese tray / decorative plaque" showcases California winemaking elegance through this transformed bottle from Sonoma County's boutique Meadowcroft Wines. The deep olive-green glass maintains its graceful silhouette while featuring the winery's distinctive label with its signature gold bee emblem against a rich navy background. Both the gold foil neck wrapper and the minimalist label design—identifying this as a 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon—speak to the artisanal quality and attention to detail characteristic of small-production Sonoma wines.
About Artwork: Original Meadowcroft vintage wine cheese tray / decorative plaque
This 13-inch long glass tray represents the intersection of California wine country craftsmanship and creative repurposing. Sonoma County, known for producing elegant, terroir-driven wines that balance fruit expression with structural sophistication, is home to many small family wineries like Meadowcroft that emphasize sustainable practices—a philosophy extended through this bottle's transformation. Through the glass slumping technique, this vessel has been carefully heated and flattened while preserving its distinctive visual identity and artisanal character. The twisted silver wire handle adds both functionality and visual interest to the olive-toned glass. When displayed in contemporary spaces, this piece brings California wine country's refined aesthetic into everyday settings, creating a conversation piece that connects viewers to both boutique winemaking traditions and sustainable artistic practices.
