Simple & small wine rack
We needed a rack to store some wine that lives in a cupboard.
This was the quickest & easiest rack I could come up with. It's made of scrap I had lying around & a couple of bits of 100 X 100mm mesh. Not much to it, just drill some holes & butt jointed using biscuits.
It only holds 40 bottles! :mad: Where am I gonna put the other 100+ bottles :confused: :confused:
Cheers

Well I can't understand why people have wine racks. You buy wine, take it home and drink it, no need for storage. If you buy more than one bottle, you drink them, if you drink too many, save it until tomorrow and then drink it. Who needs storage.
Has anyone ever built a wine rack for the cardboard casks I ask?
But seriously your rack is a nice simple design, I might pinch it.

You really need to pick up the pace Maj. Wine isn't for storing, it's for drinking copious quantities there of. If you spent more time on the bottle and less on the tools, you wouldn't have this problem
(*hic*)
If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

Cant quite read the labels to decide if tommorrow would be too soon to consume. How about a stock list? Then we can decide what days we want to come on!
Course i'm not being selfish, others can join in!

ps best designs are the simple ones, any troubles from different neck heights experienced? Or are these the ones you drank already?

Well I guess for a nominal surcharge I could let you store 'em at my house. Of course I may forget how many you brought over Originally Posted by MajorPanic

A very functional design.Bob

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

A nice elegant piece.
Is the mesh fitted in holes at every wire end?
