Wine bottle corks

Assuming I have all the cork pin-boards I could ever use, what else can I use wine bottle corks for???

Never have found anything really worthwhile to do with them!

We use them to light the fire or we put them in the compost bin

I'm sure there must be something really useful and clever we could do with them .... just don't know what it is ???

my grandma used to save them to string them together to make mats (i.e. foor the front door, foor tables etc.)

we use the corks instead of bark chips and the bottles for decoration and aggregate

but then i've not thrown a bottle away in 18 years
