10 "Character" Wine Bottle Holders, For Better Or Worse

Many a teacher and many a golfer have received their share of figurines that artistically depict a likeness of them "being a teacher" or "being a golfer."  But the standing figurines as well as the Christmas-tree ornament figurines are less popular than they used to be....

Not to worry; the market doesn't leave voids, remember?  Wine bottle holder figurines are in now;  alas, figurines have a purpose in life!  Problem is, you still need to figure out whether your recipient will reward the bottle holder with a position in the kitchen, dining room, or nearby landfill. (Take this as a warning of what's ahead!)

1. The Golfer Metal-Sculptured Wine Bottle Holder

Instead of another mass-produced pottery goofy golfer figurine, here's the Golfer Putting With Caddy Wine Bottle Holder, one of the extensive collection of H&K Scuptures, that are European hand-crafted specifically to reflect the American lifestyle and sense of humor.  There are dozens and dozens of professional, recreational, and lifestyle-matched sculptures of figures you will recognize among your friends at Amazon.com.
