Wine Bottle Storage
Sounds like a no-brainer but it's not unfortunately. The only wine bottles that are usually uniform among vineyards are found in Bordeaux. This isn't the case for any other country or region. Some vineyards in Napa for example make a taller or thicker bottles that don't fit in large Bordeaux wine crates. Riesling and Champagne bottles can vary widely in size as well, and usually don't fit either.
The solution to this is either to measure the bottles first before placing an order for a wine crate, or tailor-make a custom wine crate to fit the bottles.
Gardening
Large wooden wine crates are great for square foot gardens outside
Medium wooden wine boxes are better for herb or garden planters inside due their smaller and more convenient sizes

Gardening and vegetable seed pack box
This is a harder project than it looks. You have to install the sections into the crate in order to separate the seed packs. This kind of project often is done with 3 bottle flat crates which are rare.
Shelving
You can go either way on shelving depending on what size you'd like the unit to be. It is possible to use both large and medium crates in the shelving. The one below is all large except for the ones on the table which are mediums.
Wall Mounted Collection Displays
This is another option that can go with both medium and large crates. They can be mixed and matched, as this this is an easy project. All you have to do is level the crates and nail them to the wall.
Chest of Drawers
Most chest of drawers are made with large wine crates because of how large a chest of drawers is. This is a complex project.
DIY Ottomans
A wine crate ottoman can be either an oversized medium wine box or a large wine crate. The key here is to install a pillow onto the top. A lot harder than it looks!

Wedding Table Centerpieces
For floral centerpieces; depending on the size of the table, you can go with small, medium or large crates. Our general rule of thumb is small for tables with 6 people, medium for 8 and large for 10 or more.
In the case of a buffet table it's often a mix of medium and large crates depending on the size of the platters.
Living Room or Coffee Tables
This project is exclusively done with large wine crates due to their length.
Bookcase
Books fit well in large wine crates, so this is the size most bookcases are made out of.
Rolling Storage
Usually medium sized crates, but there are rolling storage units made of the large ones.

Cat or dog pet beds and feeders
Another DIY project that can be done with medium or large depending on the size of your pet. If you have a big dog it's large, if you have a small cat than medium.
Magazine Rack
Medium wine boxes make the best sense for this, as they are more quaint and fit in smaller spaces.
Found on Etsy
Spice racks are usually 6 bottle flat wine case because they can fit the spice bottles smoothly, and work well on a wall in a kitchen.
Limoges Box
Almost exclusively medium wine boxes. A great DIY project for a Limoges box is to place a nicely designed wall paper to the bottom of the box.
