I think I have one of those somewhere too. 
My absolute favourite was Triple Vintage cider in a shapely bottle that made a great candleholder. We used to drink it in work on a Wednesday after noon and pretend it was black tea in our cup.

Ah, back in the days when candles dribbled........memories, memories.........every cafe that had pretensions to be a restaurant seemed to have them on the tables.

We just used them because there used to be a lot of power cuts in the 70's.
