Glass Candle Insert Turns Wine Bottles Into Romantic Oil Lamps! (2 Pkgs)

 (3 customer reviews)

I recently bought 2 sets of the wine bottle inserts and tried one the other day.
I used La-Tee-Da scented lamp oil ( is more volatile then regular lamp oil )
and a little funnel bought at Pier 1 to fill the vial.
Careful do not overfill stop about 1/8" from top !
The candle will burn for 2 + hours
I like the inserts because you can turn any bottle short or very long neck into a
oil lamp without filling the whole bottle with lampoil.

It wasn't clear to me that you have to pour the lamp oil into the tiny opening at the top of this glass insert. If you don't have a very small funnel you will end up pouring half the lamp oil all over the floor. Lamp oil is expensive and messy. Fill the insert over the sink. I'm not sure what the capacity of the insert is - perhaps 2oz - but it's only enough to burn for about 10 minutes. It's hard to get into the romantic mood if you have to keep refilling your candle with messy, smelly lamp oil every 10 minutes.

I was expecting the insert to be open at the bottom and the wick to reach the bottom of the bottle. Then I'd fill the bottle with lamp oil and my candle would burn for several hours. That's not what we're buying here.

The stem part is 5" long. If you have a short wine bottle, maybe 6" tall, you could carefully knock off the bottom with a hammer and you'd have a decent candle. None of my wine bottles are that short - not even the port.

I received the order quickly, and in excellent condition. Nothing was broken. Packed very well. I will order additional pieces in the future.
