There seems to be a lot of people asking me about how to sand blast wine bottles lately. This is a good thing because that means there may be a large demand for selling unique wine bottles for gifts.
Recently, I got this email from someone about wanting to etch designs with a sandblaster. For the most part, it’s fairly easy to do, and most of you will probably know how to do this, but there is a tutorial in the link below if you need help with this. If you have been wanting to do this as a business idea, then give the wine bottle gift market a try. Events like weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays could be a good start.
All I want to do is sand blast wine bottles. What will I need to do it? My husband has a large air- compressor and a pressurized pot for blasting. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You
If you are looking for more information, you’re in luck because I have a bunch of free information on my blog such as this personalized wedding wine bottle tutorial.
Also, I wrote an ebook manual for more tips, tutorials, and etching equipment.
Check out the tutorial and leave me a comment or ask a question on the blog. I try to respond to comments so, please ask them here.
Thanks

I have a done a few of them as gifts. Just a FYI kinda thing if you plan to sell these be aware that it’s illegal for you to buy the wine bottles, blast them and sell them unless you have a liquor license. You can have the customer buy the wine and charge for the artwork and it shouldn’t be a problem.
A few years ago my husband was really into homebrewing his own beer. I think this is where all of our sandblasting started. We sandblasted all of his bottles before we bottled the beer. Each bottle had the name of his “brew” sandblasted into it. After it was all finished he gave them away as Christmas gifts. It was really fun and a huge hit around the Christmas tree!
Great FYI Kathy! I am just throwing an idea out there and not sure if it would be a success or not but one could try partnering up with recognized wine dealer. Maybe try going to wedding event planners and offering your service. Sometimes when people get married, they go all out and don’t mind spending that extra few hundred bucks for something unique. Get hooked up with one good partnership with a wedding event planner and you might have projects to keep you busy all year.
Jessica, that is really cool idea and thanks for sharing. That is a great gift idea and its fun. This goes for mugs too- and sometimes the thoughtful gift is more valuable than an expensive gift (okay maybe not for kids lol)
I have a small business, Pat Ball Studio, and I do sandblasting. I do wine bottles, perfume, and anything I can get my hands on. Weddings are great! After all, someone gets married every weekend. Olive oil bittles are good money makers too. A catchie phrase an emblem and their name is great! I am working on a web site and hope to have it soon.
Keep up the good work.
I have a complete setup for blasting just about anything. cabinet, ploter,pressure pot, three stage air filter software and more. glendale, az.

@Ryan, at least on my end, I am not in touch with anyone that blasts wine bottles for hire, but if you’d like, I can reach out to my subscribers if they are interested. Maybe someone on here would be interested.
