If you are making cut-out sugar cookies or pie crusts and need a rolling pin and you don't happen to have one and dont have the time and/or money to go buy one, my friend recently showed me this new trick to use a wine bottle. You would of course clean the wine bottle first. She used an empty one, but I guess one could also use a full unopened one.
Yep. Done that many a time. Depending on what is being rolled and how much dough, I've used smaller bottles like soy sauce or beer. And I have used full bottles when no empties are around.
When I lived alone, I would choose my wine by shape of bottle as much as by flavour. Full, empty, or stages between the two all work, but make sure the cork is in well. Sometimes I would fill old bottles with water.
In a pinch, drinking glasses can work as mini rolling pins and cookie cutter combined into one tool.
The only rolling pin I have ever had was when I was a kid and it was about 5 inches.
Since I got married my only rolling pin was a wine bottle.

We have a tequila bottle Iv been using to keep my oil in on the counter. Its easy and quick to clean. And since it gets washed every time I use it there's no time for dust to build up and get all funky! I hate cleaning dust off of a oily surface, it just smears! I also use that same bottle to pound meat cutlets and break stale bread or cookies into crumbs.
My wife has a marble rolling pin. Since we get along, I have never been concerned by that.
In my family archive, I have a rolling pin that my grandfather carved from a single piece of what appears to be dense birch. He came to this country just before the Great Depression, with very little money but a head full of skills.
