The Couple that Wine and Dines Together…

I’m not sure if you can tell from some of our posts that we are wine drinkers, but what you probably don’t know is that we consume a glass each almost every dinner (or sometimes lunch). Now that I told you that, you might be expecting to see wine racks full of bottles in our home. The truth is, we only have a single-bottle holder and it’s holding a much-ignored Merlot. I know, I know…how did that happen?

We have been buying a bottle of wine on a per-need basis and it goes straight to the refrigerator to chill before dinner. However, with the prices of almost every thing going up, we might as well go buy a case of them to save. [Outstanding logic coming out of this analytical head, you see. You thought I was going to say we’re going to stay quit it?] And with that, we might as well get a wine rack and display to the world (or at least to wary visitors) that we are that kind of couple – the drinking one. Perhaps this? It looks like a space-saver, but the design might pose a costly user problem for me if I can’t get the bottles in right. Oops. I really like the simplicity of this, too…but we’re not looking for a one-bottle support/rack. Oh the lure of online shopping…

Do you have wine racks for your vino? Or did you go for a wine cooler?

    We hardly ever drink wine. But I do buy quality wines for cooking with. I like your choices!

    Congratulations on the decision to buy a case (or cases!) of wines you like. A professional piece of advice about wine racks: Don’t buy a too big one. It takes up space and a home is not the best place to let wines sit for a long time (unless you have a cool basement). Actually, under the bed is one of the best places to keep wines in a normal household, assuming the bedroom is the coolest room in the house. And for that you don’t need any wine rack! And wine cases, stacked, can be a pretty sight in themselves, too.
