The corkboard thing has been done before in a much less glamorous way.

The nice thing about these is that you can have the typography of the wine corks showing and the memory of drinking that particular wine.
I did this in my Mother's kitchen for her desk in 1979. She lives in Sonoma and we used all of the wine corks that she had saved for many years. Not a new idea, but a good one.
