How to Cut a Wine Bottle into a Candle Hurricane

Immediately submerge the bottle into a bucket of cold tap water. Listen for a crack. If you hear it, carefully pull out the bottle. You may need to gently grasp the bottom and twist slightly to pop it off along the score line. Be very careful not to touch the sharp edges created along the break. If the bottom doesn't come off, repeat the hot-water step using the rest of the kettle of water, then do this cold-water step again. You may also need to let the glass cool so that you can score your line a bit deeper.
