I have made several of these and I use citronella oil in them to keep the bugs away and they work great. I also painted some of the bottles I used to match the decor! The best advice I can give in making these is to not have a closed mind about it! I wound up using something completely different to hold the wick. I would take what ever wine bottle you want to use with you to the hardware store and just play around with it!
Also, be sure that the wick you use is long enough... if you have a longer neck bottle you may have to get a longer wick. A standard tiki torch wick works great for this if you are using a short fat bottle or even a beer bottle(we used a Corona bottle and it looked like we were burning the beer)! If you plan on making a bunch I suggest you order a roll of Tiki wick and just cut it to your own desired length!
