{"product_id":"coffret-vin-en-bois-nichoir","title":"Wooden Wine Box Nichoir, Bird House","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA wine box that becomes a bird house\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front panel carries a round hole cut clean through the wood, framed by an engraved wreath of vine leaves and grapes, with a small wooden perch fitted just below it. At the foot of the panel three birds sit on an engraved branch. None of it is decoration for its own sake: once the bottle is gone, the box goes outside and spends the rest of its life as a nesting box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost wine boxes are handsome and then empty. This one has somewhere to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarm honey brown, with a rope to carry it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plywood is stained a warm honey brown, lighter than our dark boxes and warmer than the bare birch of the light ones, and the engraving burns darker into it. A jute rope handle is threaded through the top panel, so the box is carried by the rope now and hung by it later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it opens and what comes with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHook a finger in the hole at the top of the front panel and lift: the panel slides up out of grooves in the two side panels and the bottle lifts out. Slide it back down and the box is closed again. A flat oval glass holder comes with it: set the hole over the neck of the bottle and it carries two glasses by their stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLarger than the rest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 12.5 × 12.5 × 34.5 cm it is wider and taller than our other boxes, which is what makes the second life work: a nest box needs room inside that a snug bottle sleeve does not have. It still takes a standard 75 cl bottle, with a little more air around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho to give it to\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomeone with a garden, a balcony with a tree in view, or children who would climb the ladder to put it up. The wine is the first gift; the box is the second, and it arrives the day somebody notices a bird going in and out of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHanging it afterwards\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo to four metres up, with the hole facing away from the prevailing wind and out of the strong afternoon sun, and a clear flight path in front rather than dense foliage. Hang it by the rope or, better in wind, screw it to the trunk through the back panel, and give it a spot sheltered from the worst of the rain: it is plywood, not marine timber. Clean it out each autumn once the brood has flown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Creatifwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47256693866627,"sku":"BD007","price":13.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/8818\/8035\/files\/Boite-a-vin_Maisons-doiseau_2.jpg?v=1780866754","url":"https:\/\/creatifwood.fr\/en\/products\/nichoir-wine-box-with-rope","provider":"Creatifwood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
