*** 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

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

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.
