The house of Miroslav Svoboda in Mutenice, the Czech Republic, has become a great tourist attraction since he decorated the house with 180,000 wine corks.

Two years back, Mr. Svoboda got this idea of using wine corks to decorate his house and make more appealing. There was circle space on one of the walls that was empty, and he decided to fill it with a drawing, but when he saw his friends did not like this idea, he decided to fill that space with wine corks. Mutenice is a small town located in South Moravian, which is a wine region of the Czech Republic, this is the reason why he was able to get so many wine corks. Unfortunately for him, Miroslav Svoboda is a passionate red wine drinker, and he managed to save his own wine corks, and also got many of them from his neighbors and friends.

The entire process of cleaning the wine corks has been developed by bricklayer and assured his decorative work gets clear in the test of time. At first, he placed the corks in a disinfectant water to remove the smell of wince and killed all the germs that could have resulted in mold. Then he dried those corks in nets made from onion bags and cut them in two equal portions. He fixed every piece of cork into place by hand into different shapes with the help of cement. According to Svoboda his house is very old and there are thick walls everywhere, so did not cover the corks for cushioning, but only for inventive reasons.
