Yes. My wife bought a cheapo Glass drill bit...

Drilling took about 5 min.

The hardest part was fishing the cord throught the cork. But not
hard...just had to think is trough. I removed just to top of the foil and
cage then replaced the foil. Drilled large hole through top of bottles
cork.

Then at base just above the Punt on back drilled hole.

You can guy a lamp kit for bottles at virtually any hardware store. Plus
you can buy a 3 way adapter so you can have 3 way bulb if needed. The
bottle kits are with our without Harp adaptable.

Pretty easy.
