A champagne bottle candle can be one of two things – an exercise in creativity.

Champagne bottle candle – as a romantic type of person, I can respond to this phrase in one of two ways. One – a champagne bottle candle is a candle shaped like a champagne bottle; or Two – a champagne bottle candle is a taper candle inserted into an empty champagne bottle, perhaps to be used in place of a wall candle sconce for an amorous evening.

To address Option One. A champagne bottle candle may be created by candle companies specializing in unusually shaped candles. The way I’d picture it would be a green candle shaped like a bottle, with a long thin neck, with a wick at the end of it. The centerpiece of a romantic evening, a champagne bottle candle could be used to decorate a proposal, to celebrate an anniversary, even to commemorate New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately, as you burn a champagne bottle candle, it would gradually lose its unique shape. But the overall first impression made by a champagne bottle candle would provide the feeling of a night to remember.

To address Option Two. As a person who always tries to be creative to keep the spark alive, I have made a champagne bottle candle that’s one of your more unusual homemade candles. What I did was take a champagne bottle that my sweetheart and I had used to celebrate our last big occasion, and inserted a taper candle into the neck of the bottle. He remembered the night we drank that bottle of bubbly, and looked at the champagne bottle candle as a romantic reminder of that evening. And, best of all, this champagne bottle candle could be used over and over again, just by inserting new tapers. As far as homemade candles go, my champagne bottle candle certainly did the trick that night! I don’t think I would have gotten the same reaction from a wall candle sconce, no matter how beautiful.

Champagne bottle candle – just the name can get the imagination going!
