I remember before I stopped drinking I loved collecting the extravagant liquor bottles. I must have had a dozen of the old kahlua ones that were all dimpled and ridged, and the cool but terrible tasting tequila skulls.
Weirdly, I do the opposite - I collect bottles that are simple, lightweight and a practical shape (i.e. cylindrical instead of bulbous, not to too tall, not too squat) and there’s a decent chance that I’ll decant liquor that comes in an extravagant bottle (though the bottles I’m most likely to decant are those that are too tall for my shelves or contain 1l - that’s just a lot of weight when you want to pour exactly 20 ml).
