Couple Uses Repurposed Bottles to Make Business
West Chester, OH – A family-run business in West Chester Twp. is making garbage smell good.
That is Vela de Vino — translated to “wine candle” in Spanish — formed by husband-wife duo Jenny and Joe Gutman of West Chester Twp. The two run the business out of their home, creating candles inside recycled wine, beer and liquor bottles.
Joe Gutman said they got the idea for the “wine candle” after seeing a similar concept in a Chicago boutique during summer 2010. He said both the candle and glass-cutting were of low quality.
