That's actually more or less exactly what I want them for. I have some rough lumber, I'm going to sand it a bit, varnish it, and make sort of like old fashioned milk bottle crates, only sized for the small coke bottles.
I'm planing on putting a mix of Apfelwein, Skeeter Pee, maybe a few other concoctions into them, and making mixed 6 variety packs to give away for next Christmas. I want them clear because, well. I find clear glass just looks attractive, especially when bottling brightly colored things. Using coke bottles specifically because the only other clear crown cap bottles I can get around here are Corona, and I simply don't want to drink 60-70 bottles of Corona, or Innis and Gunn Scottish Ale. Which is a hell of a lot better then the Corona, and for sure drinkable, but 3.75$ per 341ml bottle at my local liquer store. Touch expensive. I can do Coke bottles for roughly a buck each.
@Homercidal-- Thanks for the tip on getting the paint off! I tried rubbing it off with cotton balls and nail polish remover last night. It did work, but VERY slowly. A good soak in Starsan will def be what I try next.
