About Wine Racks

Jean Bolton asked:


Let’s say your are getting married and you want your guest to get something that they would remember the wedding by or you are asked by a couple that are getting married to organize something like this. If you’re a wine lover then there is not much to think about, the present will be wine related. And your in luck because when the gift should be wine related then being unique is not that hard to accomplish.

Your guest will feel that you value them

You might think that all the gift ideas having a wine theme would be taken by now but that’s not the case. Wines and all the things related to it are so diverse that there are lots of unique combinations you can still think of. You should be thinking in solutions and not asking for more problems.

One idea could be to hand everyone that attends your wedding a wooden or iron, hand made mini wine rack. And if you go a step further you could make it complete with miniature wine bottles. Talking of unique wine gifts you could even have the mini wine bottles personalized.

Another idea would be to have little crystal or silver wine bottles made and have them attached to a key ring or on a small hanger for the women guests. Have them engraved with your names and the date of the wedding. Or you could give a vine leaf made out of all kinds of material, wood, crystal, etc. etc. again with your names and the date engraved.

A unique wine gift is not something that can only be given at a wedding, there are lots of occasions where it is more then appropriate to get such a gift. An anniversary, could be a wedding one, is another great time to do something with the wine theme. You could organize a tasting party and invite a close group of friends that attended your wedding.

The sky is the limit, well, probably your wallet or bank account is, but when you make a little effort this is what you can come up with, just imagine if you start thinking a little longer or with friends and family helping out with the process. Always keep two things in mind when you are thinking about what to get for the guests at your party.

A) It should be something that will remember people of the occasion

B) When people look at it after a while it should give them the feeling of reliving it all again

The gift should be unique in such a way that it sticks out in peoples memories when they see the object again. Wine is a perfect object to give to your friends and family at these kind of happenings.

Get your thinking cap on and start brainstorming, alone or with others, and you will see that there is still a unique wine gift out there that you can give at your wedding party or other joyful occasion.

I don’t drink wine myself as I get a headache from the tannins or something like that. But I just got a cabinet with a small wine rack in it, and would like to have a few bottles around to offer glasses to guest (instead of a beer, lol).
I have no clue what I should keep on hand. Can you offer advice on what to chose for a half a dozen bottles? I’d like to keep it under $150 if possible.
Thanks!!

Short Term

Storing wine that you will consume within 4-6 months still requires you to duplicate the same conditions that are required for long term storage. However, in some cases it might just be that storing your wine in a box in a coat closet is a satisfactory short term solution.

Short term wines will include the bottles that you just brought home from the store to be consumed or bottles that have been pulled from storage and you want them to be ready for consumption in the next few months.

Short term wine storage requires you to make sure that:

•    The wine is kept in a location with stable (lower) temperature (what temp?)

•    The area is free from vibration (keeping away from a TV on your countertop, microwave, or electric can openers)

•    The cork stays moist (how do you make sure this happens?)

•    You keep the bottles out of direct sunlight

•    The location is not a storage area that has a strong odor (do not use the pantry)

If you have a wine rack that you keep in your kitchen on top of a cupboard or above the refrigerator it is best to move it to another location.  Typically we find that this is not the ideal space due to the constant opening and shutting of cabinets, the use of the refrigerator door giving contact temperature shifts as well as the vibration of the motor.  .   

Long-Term

For long term storage it is critical to have an appropriate storage location to preserve your investment.  This location should be kept at a low stable temperature, free of vibration, high humidity and dark.

Most homes maintain a temperature of around 70° F with 20-30% humidity levels.  It is recommended for ideal wine storage that the conditions are 55° to 58°  F and about 55-75% humidity or higher. The high humidity is important because it keeps the corks from drying out and will minimize the possibility of evaporation. The only problem you may experience with higher levels of humidity is that it may produce mold on the wine labels or even loosen the labels if the label was applied to the bottle with water soluble glue.

Keep in mind that temperatures lower than 55 degrees will slow down the aging of the wines.  A consistent temperature is imperative as spoilage can occur if an area has temperatures that fluctuate.

As stated earlier wine bottles are best preserved if stored in a dark area.  Wine distributors today have been making bottles with ultraviolet filters built into the glass that help protect the contents from typical effects of UV rays. However, because you are storing wine long term you can’t be sure it will not have light exposure which could result in the wine tasting or smelling like cardboard.  This is especially noticeable in delicate white wines and sparkling wines.

If you are building a cellar in your home basement make sure it is stored away from anything with a vibration.  Sump pumps, heaters, motors or generators should be avoided since the vibrations they cause are thought to negatively affect the evolution of the wines. One additional factor to avoid is storing other items with very strong odors near the wine. It is possible that the wine can pick up the aromas of other items stored nearby.

If you do not have a suitable wine cellar, there are many types of modular wine racks and wine refrigerators that are affordable and an excellent alternative to a robust wine cellar. There are kits available that will convert regular refrigerators into suitable wine storage units.

rests are 90 degrees apart, and the right surface makes an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the ground. Each surface exerts a force on the bottle that is perpendicular to the surface. What is the magnitude of each of these forces?

Metal wine racks are an ideal selection when you are looking for a safe place to store your wine bottles. The most important thing is that you properly store your wine in the right environment regardless of the type of wine rack that you purchase. Keeping this in mind will help you to find the right spot in your home, as well as the right size to fit your entire wine collection. You should read more about properly storing your wine so that you can find the best place without compromising the taste of your wine.

Once you determine the optimal place in your home that will be consistently cool, dark and slightly humid then you can begin searching for the right metal wine rack. The main advantage of label out metal wine racks is that you will easily be able to see the label of the wine without removing it from the rack. This is an important advantage because for many wines you need to leave the wine laying on it’s side until the moment you are ready to open it. Another great advantage is that you can find many metal wine racks to choose from that will have the ability to fit in just about any size area.

The cost for metal wine racks will vary greatly. You can easily find a small specialty rack for less than $30 dollars, but a larger more decorative one is going to cost you much more. The price will also vary as the quality of the metal varies.     

You will find many different styles of metals to choose from such as label out, pigeon holes and scrolled decorative.  Finishes may be available in black, wrought iron or brushed platinum, which has the look of chrome or Stainless Steel.   Black & brushed platinum will offer you a modern or contemporary look. Wrought iron will offer a more traditional look. You can search online for the various styles.   And I can guarantee that you will be amazed at the prices, styles and designs that you will find.   Buying anything online will put you in front of some of the best deals.

Barcelona is the nation’s second largest city and its biggest port. After becoming an important commercial center of Spain, it even challenged the ports of Italy.

2. Girona

Girona is the capital city of the Girona province. Some of the main industries of the city include chemicals, food, machinery, paper, and textile. This city is older than the Roman Empire. In fact, the city still retains aspects of its Medieval heritage. Its people successfully resisted the French, from 1808-1809.

3. Milan

Consider wines from Milan when selecting a wall wine rack. This city is located in the northern region of Italy. It is likely that the region has Celtic origins. The Roman conquered it during 222 BC. Due to its tactical location, since Medieval times this city has been a center of various industries.

4. Naples

This city is located in the South-Central region of Italy. It sits along the Bay of Naples. The Greeks founded the city at around 600 BC. Then in the 4th century BC, the Romans conquered the region. Today, Naples serves as an Italian center for business, tourism, and culture.

5. Palermo

Palermo is a city located in the northwest part of Sicily, Italy. The Phoenicians founded the city during the 8th century BC. After functioning as a military base of the Carthagians, the Romans conquered it from 254-253 BC. After Arabs controlled the city, it served as the Sicily kingdom’s capital until 1194.

6. Roma

The capital of Italy, Rome is located in the nation’s central region, along the Tiber River. During the time of the Roman Empire, Rome’s authority stretched over other regions, including Cyprus, Jerusalem, Gaul, and Syria. It became Italy’s capital in 1870. Today, Rome serves as Italy’s centers for administration, transportation, and culture.

7. Turin

Celebrate Turin when selecting a wall wine rack. This city is located in the northwestern region of Italy. The Taurini founded it. Hannibal partially destroyed the city in 218 BC. Later, Emperor Augustus made the city a military colony of the Roman Empire. Both Charlemagne and the French controlled the region throughout history. Fashion and automobiles are key industries in Turin.

When wall decorating the walls in your home, consider styles that various cities in Italy and Spain, have inspired. Each region boasts of a unique wine tradition and flavor. Enjoy a taste of Italy or Spain when loading your wall wine rack!

mrapolloproject asked:


I am looking to use a grape juice concentrate because at this time of year I cannot get fresh grape juice where I live. I am looking at making a few batches of wine, but some of the concentrates I’ve found online and elsewhere seem to have had vitamin C (ascorbic acid) added to it. I know this is sometimes added to white wines as an antioxidant, but usually after the fermentation process is complete. Will having this additional/added vitamin C in my juice prior to fermentation/racking stages affect the end product? I want to make sure that my yeast will not stagnate and that the flavor won’t be wholy comprimised. Any and all answers are appreciated, and this community is always so very helpful. Thanks!!
