The life cycle of this wine bottle — made easy b The life cycle of this wine bottle — made easy because of @levurebottleshop’s awesome new online ordering and curbside pickup! 1. Found the bottle on levurebottleshop.com and placed my order, selecting curbside pickup 2. Showed up to Levure to have my order brought to my car 3. Made it home! 4. Set her in the fridge to chill for a few hours. 5. Got her out for game night! 6. Poured a round or two… 7. Fell in love with the cuteness of the bottle so she became a vase! 8. Currently— cute vase full of flowers on my kitchen counter 🩷🐄🥂
