Wall Mounted Wine Racks


Wall mounted wine racks are among the safest, most affordable wine racks available. Because of the weights of the bottle and the height of the unit needed to hold a certain capacity of wine, it is necessary and strongly recommended that these units are attached directly to the wall for stability.


Wall mounted wine racks are easy to assemble as well as mount. All wall wine racks come with the necessary hardware and detailed, easy to understand, instructions as to the proper placement of hardware, as well as suggested locations to locate it.


Instant cellars are most commonly a wall mounted racks for wine by their very design. Since these wine racks must be mounted to a wall, they only run one unit deep. To utilize the available space, wall wine racks most often run floor to ceiling. Stacking units and bottles, requires the correct hardware and placement to prevent unnecessary damage to the wine and wall itself. It is not recommended that a individual purchase stand alone units and try and mount them, unless it is specified that this wall wine rack can be used free standing.


Wall mounted wine racks are a good investment for individuals who live in earthquake prone areas. Even a minor tremor can send an unmounted wine rack tumbling to the ground. A wall mounted wine rack will, if it is properly secured as instructed, remain stable as long as the wall itself is not compromised. This will give you peace of mind that the 10 year old bottles of merlot you have are safe, even when the china is rattling in the cupboard.


Wall wine racks are probably not the right choice for a home without many open walls. Although they vary in size and shape, they do require bare walls. Most wall mounted wine racks are placed in cellars or pantry type rooms, with the exception of the bar area. It is common for a partial wall wine rack to be mounted against the wall behind a bar or entertaining area. This makes for easy to reach, safe storage for small amounts of wine.

Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut


Very pale and crystal-bright in colour. Intense and complex on the nose, with a wide range of aromas, including citrus and white fruit and flowers, such as honeysuckel. The combined effect gives off an impression of freshness, much like ocean air. The taste is airy and delicate, yet surprisingly long. Floral and fruit flavours combine with mineral notes to give a wine that is pure without being austere. he finish is long and leaves the palate clean. Its delicate finish, wich leaves the palate fresh, and its subtle balance make this the most versatile champagne in Laurent-Perrier's range. Its capacity to bring out flavours in food makes it ideal from aperitif to dessert. This champagne pairs well with caviar or foie gras, seafood or oysters - and even accompanying a cigar at the end of a meal. Serve chilled. SW72834 SW72834

The Christmas and New Year holidays are perfect for experimenting across the range and variety of wine styles; a fine Jerez as an aperitif (or later on in the day as a digestif), delicate sparkling and crisp whites for those seafood appetisers, rich reds for the main meal, something sweet at dessert and a late evening Port for a cheese board – over the hours of a traditional Christmas feast you should be able to find a dish to accompany most if not all of these styles. If you have extended fami

Though they both have bubbles, champagne and sparkling wine are not the same thing. Sparkling wine can come from a variety of wine-producing regions, but champagne always hails from a region in France where monks, warriors, barbarians and royalty have trod, a crossroads as rich in history as it is in grapes.

Everyone remembers the day when selection was limited to stock on hand. In today's world with so many companies fighting for your hard-earned dollar the power has shifted from seller to consumer. You state what your ideal wine rack size, style, and material, and you purchase your own custom wine rack.


A custom winerack is a simple or complex as you are. Many wine racks can be used as an individual unit or stacked to form a matrix unit. You decide. This freedom will allow you to be more creative. Instead of limiting yourself to having a closet wine collection, you can choose to build a partial wall mounted wine rack right into your kitchen. Or how about those bottles of wine you have been keeping in boxes in the pantry; why not buy a custom wine rack that fits in the corner where the dust bunnies are living.


As with most other kinds of wine racks, custom wine racks come with complete, detailed, easy to understand instructions, and can be assembled in a short period of time. You do not have to be an architectural engineer to order a custom wine rack either. Just measure the desired location and browse the selection of custom wine racks. If you do not see a wine rack you like or if you are having trouble, company representatives at various merchants will gladly make some suggestions.

Christmas Eve 2008 - (Benson, AZ)

Thu, 25 Dec 2008 10:21:18 -0800
Today was the opposite of yesterday. Almost no wind, clear, sunny skies, and temps in the low 70s. We started out with a pinkish morning glow over the Dragoon Mountains. Linda's agenda included coloring her hair before beading. While she was doing that, I set up a new DreamLife Creations page for her recently designed bracelets. It seems it was time to stop dragging my feet as folks wanted to order. :) Don brought Deb over a little early for beading, and we hit the golf course before no

Furoshiki: Giftwrapping Japanes Style

Thu, 25 Dec 2008 10:16:43 -0800
It is called Furoshiki or Japanese Eco-friendly gift wrapping, a method by which decorative cloths are used to wrap gifts. Rather than tearing apart gift wrappers, the Furoshiki ways allows gift receivers to make use of these decorative clothings for other use if they don’t have any gift to wrap. It is a good way to promote a new way to wrap gifts and definitely carries an added plus as far as making good use of wrappers rather than throwing them in the garbage can and adding to the waste pr

It feels kind of funny to blog on Christmas, but my sister who is visiting went back down for a nap after we got her up early with Georgia (who got up at her usual time not really understanding the whole Santa thing yet, but her typical waking time is a tad earlier than my sister's--or any SANE person's for that matter), Georgia is well-entertained by her new gifts (spoiled and happy little gal), Alex is getting ready to play his Wii (!!!!!!!!) and well...I can't help it.

What I Got For Christmas

I sure hope everyone who stumbles by my little piece of the Internet is having a great holiday season. Mine was (and is) fantastic and I thought I'd write about some of the cool gifts I received this year. My most precious gifts are a happy wife and two happy 12 year olds, but I also got some other pretty cool stuff. While I love everything I got, the following are the highlights: 1. A 12 bottle wine cooler. I've been wanting one of these for a long time because I like wine (both red and

In what has become a holiday tradition, I am reposting an essay I wrote a few years ago about my dad. Christmas day was his birthday. I've long believed that we keep people alive by telling their stories. And so, sometime on this busy day, please take a moment to read about Daddy, even if you've read it before. It will keep him alive another year. He died in 1980 at age 53, seven months before his 54th birthday. Twenty-eight years gone. Today, he would have turned 82. With love for the holiday

Everything was perfect. The house was full with people I love. My whole family was present today. We started the day with a prayer. There were lots of merriment, food, wine and gift giving. I got to see fireworks light up the semi-rainy skies of Manila and Makati from afar. My nephews and my niece were so happy with the gifts they got. It made us all smile with contentment. I felt so blessed. It was the annual Christmas get-together of the Quitas and everything went well, I must say, it’s more
