Cooking gadget tip

I have just discovered a neat way to keep cooking oils. Now, perhaps this is well known and I was just out of touch. Perhaps even most people have no problem with the way they keep oils. I did. I like to keep oil in the refrigerator to maintain it. but I want to have some handy and at room temperature for cooking. It turns out that "boutique" booze comes in the perfect bottles. By "boutique" I guess I mean "narrowly marketed" as I have no idea if these examples are really especially good. Moreover, I know some really high end beverages come in outlandish bottles that really would be no good at all. So these are like small batch whiskeys or niche drink ingredients.  For example:

This is sunflower oil in what had been a Rocky Mountain blackberry-infused whiskey. The glass is thick, the stopper is substantial, the size and shape are pleasing and convenient. Likewise:
this is olive oil in what had been a 200ml Grey Goose vodka (don't ask) bottle. The long neck makes pouring more slowly easy and again, thick glass, good cork, nice size.
