Drilling a Hole in a Wine Bottle

RE: Drilling a Hole in a Wine Bottle Post By sue (Guest Post) (10/08/2008) I purchased a costly glass & tile drill bit and it was a painfully slow process. I finally made a hole in the bottle but I ended up with a few slight chips. i gave up on that method. I purchased some 3/4" diamond core bits on ebay. I tried to drill into the bottle but it skips and dances across the bottle. I tried to put a piece of masking tape on the bottle and it skid across the tape, ripping the tape and made scuff marks on the bottle. I can't afford a drill press!

It work. My father used to drill holes into bottles to make lamps. I was asked to help him dripping the water onto the drillbit and bottle.

They are a tad bit costly, but last. Report Spam or Abuse
