Wall wine racks - decorative and space saving solution
Gone are those days when, wherever one looked, one could only see the floor
storage solutions in homes and bars. These days, wall wine racks have become an
in thing - almost like a fashion statement. A wall wine rack is usually
mounted on the walls with the help of brackets, and can add a lot of oomph to
your interiors!
Wall wine racks come in all shapes - from the plain vanilla, single bottle
holder, that silently emphasizes its presence in the room; to very stylized ones
that can hold six or eight or ten bottles in a very decorative way. The racks
are usually made up of metal or wood; and have diverse finishings that
you can pick and choose from, to match the paint on the wall.
While selecting the wall where the wine rack shall be mounted, an important
consideration that needs to be made is that it should be free from any
vibrations. Also, the location of the rack should be such that direct sunlight
does not touch it throughout all the twenty-four hours. And it would be a good
idea indeed, to also take care that the air around the rack does not have a
fluctuating temperature - it should preferably be cool without being too cold.
By ensuring these optimum conditions, you get wines that last their full lives
and do not deteriorate while ageing gracefully on those beautiful racks.
The ideal placement of wine bottles on a wall rack is horizontal, that is, by
their side. This keeps the corks moist, and by not drying out, outside air is
not let in. Another advantage of horizontal placement is that the sedimentation
that occurs during ageing also settles at the side of the bottle. There are wine
racks that actually hang the bottles with the cork-end down. If you happen to
buy such a rack, then before decanting the wine, let the bottle sit upright for
a couple of hours or so. This gives the sediment accumulated near the cork
sufficient time to settle down to the bottom of the bottle.
You are also likely to find wall wine racks that can even be mounted from the
ceiling. Such storage options are especially useful when space is at a premium,
and you do not wish to put up anything on the walls that clash with
whatever is already there - those classic oil paintings, for example.
Wall wine racks have evolved as every elegant decoratives for interiors. They
make a statement of your tastes, without being too garish..
