Update on the bottle tree forms...

Well, folks, looks like out of all the bottle trees I searched for,
the Wine & Hop Shop earned my business. Lowest price,
cheap shipping, and very prompt shipping at that.

The bottle trees are very sturdy and will indeed hold 90 bottles, but
I am a little shy on the idea of it holding 90 WINE bottles at once.
It seems the pegs could be longer with the intention of holding
wine bottles. With regard to outdoor use, I'm sure it would be fine,
but seems to be the type of plastic (even though heavy duty plastic)
that would snap off in cold weather, but that is an assumption on my part.

At present, there are twenty something green bottles on the tree.
It is almost ten at night, so naturally I don't have a picture. I have
a big tub of bottles soaking overnight & will clean them up, add them
to the tree and make another trip to the recycling center. Looks like I
prefer Beck's and St. Paulie's Girl for the green bottles.

Just my opinion, the bottle trees look rather short. One could easily buy two
tree forms, then use twice the racks on one tree. I honestly think
a 180 bottle tree using smaller bottles such as beer would be best. Otherwise
it will look like a bottle stump, LOL! Don't let the photos fool you.
