How to Store Wine Glass Collections

Do you know what I really like? Special occasion glasses. I have a set of wine glasses that I use for “everyday use”, but what I’m really proud of is my collection of special occasion glasses. I usually keep these glasses safe in storage, because it’s important to keep them clean and dust free, but when the time is right, I love to use them. I have a set of Christmas themed glasses that have trees and snow painted on them. I have a set of birthday glasses that have cakes and confetti etched into them. I have a set of Independence Day glasses that have fireworks painted onto them. I have a set of Valentine’s Day champagne flutes that have a ruby heart implanted into the bottom of the glass. I have a set of Halloween glasses that have tiny, jet-black bats spiraling around the goblet. I have a set of Arbor Day glasses where the stems look like redwood tree trunks. I have a set of glasses that you can use at Passover Seders, where each glass has one of the ‘four questions’ etched around the base. I have a set of glasses that I bought near Uluru rock during a summer solstice; they have a series of Aboriginal petroglyphs painted on them. I have a set of glasses from the Beijing Olympics, and they have the five mascots etched into them: Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow. I have a set of glasses from the Twilight franchise, and they have Bella and Edward’s wedding date inscribed on them, and they are rimmed in red paint. I have a set of glasses commemorating the centennial birthday of Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King. I store them in the Wine Goblet Storage Chest, each one has its own canvas chest which keeps them safe from any cracks or scratches. There’s a see-through window on the front, which lets me see my fine collections. I stack them up in my cabinet, where they sit, waiting for the day when I have company.

Scroll Wine Rack - A Love Story

Scroll Wine Rack, light of my life, fire of my counter top. My organizer, my sole rack. Scroll-Wine-Rack: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Scroll. Wine. Rack. It was metal, plain metal, in the morning, holding three bottles in one easy embrace. It was a wine rack in the kitchen. It was a serving rack in the dining room. It was the Wine Rack with Scroll work by Spectrum - 480-10 on the dotted line of the catalog. But in my wine cellar it was always Scroll Wine Rack. Did it have a precursor? It did, indeed it did. In point of fact, there might have been no Scroll Wine Rack at all had I not loved, one summer, an initial wine holder. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before the Scroll Wine Rack was designed as my age was that summer. You can always count on a wine rack blogger for a fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns. Look at this Scroll Wine Rack.

Stainless Steel Kitchen? Stainless Steel Wine Rack

Have you been looking for a stainless steel wine bottle holder to fit your modern kitchen? Me too. It seemed to be a losing battle for a long time, and I’d basically given up the dream. I mean, after a time, you have to compromise - that’s just part of being an adult. But then I realized that I DIDN’T have to compromise - there would be a way to actually have it all! And I had that realization when I saw this Stainless Steel Wine Bottle Holder by Blomus!

Yeah! It looks like some cool futuristic paperclip!

Yeah! It looks like some cool futuristic paperclip!

Add a slice of dynamic style to your home’s decor with the timeless, tasteful design of stainless steel! This wine bottle holder is a delight to behold — the perfect way to add luster and drama to your favorite bottle of vino. The bright, easily maintained surface of stainless steel provides a modern and attractive appearance. And remember, the chromium content of stainless steel allows the formation of a rough, adherent, invisible, corrosion-resisting chromium oxide film on the steel surface. If damaged mechanically or chemically, this film is self-healing, providing that oxygen, even in very small amounts, is present! And with proper care, it has a useful life expectancy of over 100 years, and it is totally recyclable! That means this stainless steel holder is worth its weight in gold — a marvel to feast your eyes on, and a value to last a lifetime.
