Does anyone need winebottles? Lots of them?

We're over here in Drachenwald, and in Italy they sell (unlabeled) brand new winebottles for ridiculously cheap prices. Can't remember exactly but something like 5 or 6 Euro for say 10 of them, brand new, unlabeled.


If anyone needs them for court/feasting/whatever and doesn't want to go around unlabeling some modern bottles, we are at an APO address and could ship them USPS pretty cheap.


Let me know if you all need any.

Are they extra fancy? Otherwise it may not be that cost effective, a case of a dozen is only about $12 here at the local brewing store, not sure what the 5-6 Euro + postage would work out to be, but I don't know if there'd really end up being that much savings.

I could be wrong of course, but if I'm not it's a nice thought but probably wouldn't work in practicality.

1 euro equals just about 2 dollars here in America. It really would just be more expensive then buying brand new unlabeled bottle from a decent brewery supply store.

The conversion as of yesterday is $0.75 to 1 Euro.


And I've never been able to FIND a "brewery" store in the US that has bottles which is why I mentioned them.

There are 3 stores within an hour of me in Central NY that have bottles. Master Daniel del Cavallo buys from them alot and showed them to me.

Your best bet is to not use the internet for finding the supply stores. Most of them are small and well hidden.

While wine bottles may be out. I had a friend return from Italy with ceramic simple cups / beakers. The cups are of small size holding about a cup of liquid. They are simply made with a clear glaze and no handles. They said that those where cheap like a few dollars each. I have searched online and I could not find a cheap source of period ceramic cups / beakers. If you see these in your travels I would love to know.

Who are you using to convert your money? Even in the airport places (which have the absolute worst exchange rate ever), it is $3 to 2Eu.

From xe.com

1.00 EUR = 1.33442 USD

1.00 USD = 0.749443 EUR

Maybe he is thinking of the GBP.
1.00 GBP = 1.95941 USD
