*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
I am interested in building a wine rack in my basement and would be
interrested in any ideas anyone has as to how to go about building one.
I would like to build one fairly large, big enough to hold about
40 - 50 bottles or more.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks. Ken Abshier ihu1m!kena

*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** Actually i would like to make this rack big enough to hold about 100 or so bottles. I have a wall 7 x 14 in my bar room that I am going to put this rack on or build into the wall. thanks again. Ken Abshier ihu1m!kena 312-979-3430 :wq

One nice design I saw was actually a set of bins, where each bin was a 90 degree diamond (or, square on its corner. I guess you could size them to suit, but the one I saw pictures of seemed to hold about 12 bottles per bin. If you're storing 100 bottles, make sure you're close to an outside subterranean wall, so that the wine stays cool. If you can seal it up from outside drafts, you might even want to expose the concrete/brick/block behind the rack.

A simple wine rack can be put together using round clay drain pipe. I bought a number of the ~3 inch diameter by about 12 inch long pipes at a local lumber yard, and they fit 750 ml bottles nicely. Larger round and square pipes can be found as well. Stack them, cordwood style, either against a wall or in a frame of your devising. If you place them in a dark corner of a basement, in contact with the concrete, you'll get nice, cool, constant temperatures -- good for the wine, I'm told. Two drawbacks: they're heavy (not really a problem for me), and they tend to scratch labels. -- Steve Schley ihnp4!mmm!schley

If you are storing about 100 bottles, you'll probably want to make each diamond large enough hold one case. That way, when the old vintages are ready to drink, you won't have to move the whole bunch to get at the old ones. That's my problem. I started laying away about ten years ago, and now my closet is filled, but to get at the ones that are ready requires a near avalanche. Jere M. Marrs tektronix!tekcrl!tekgvs!jerem

Does anyone know where I might find a nice wine rack? It doesn't have to be large, but I would like it made out of oak or walnut. Do I need to go to Napa, or is there someplace in the Bay Area which might have such a beast?
