Wine Racks Blog

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.

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!

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.

Little known fact about me: I have the upper body strength of a newborn kitten. My puny arms - when added to my naturally small reserves of patience - have led to countless botched wine bottle uncorkings. Cork broken? Check. Cork seemingly irreversibly stuck half-way? Check. Cork stuck, then broken, with half of it going down into the bottle? Check, check and check.

Luckily, all that changed when I got a Cork Butler. And, if you don’t have access to a discreet British valet, this Cork Butler is the next best thing. The Cork Butler grips onto the bottle, you push the lever down, you pull the lever up and presto! In three seconds, you have an open bottle of wine. And there’s a foil cutter, which is much more effective than trying to pick off the foil with your fingernails.

So, my fellow noodle armed and patience deprived folk: say goodbye to your old corkscrew. The Cork Butler is the perfect companion to any wine rack. Brisk and efficient, I won’t be surprised if the next model has a voice chip so that it will say “Very good, madam” after it opens a bottle.
