Saturday, I dove right into my wine storage solution.
The sonotube wine rack just wasn't cutting it. You can see that project here!

More storage is needed as our winery is growing.
One can only make so much jam when you have an abundance of raspberries.
So we took up the art of winemaking. I shared our raspberry wine recipe here!

I bought some plywood sheathing as a wine bottle doesn't really care what kind of wood it gets to rest on....does it? I guess I should have asked!
I had the lumber store cut the wood into more manageable pieces; 13"x48" strips. I cut the smaller pieces for the shelves, at home. For each unit I cut 2 - 13"x42" pieces,

4 - 13"x40 1/2" pieces, 6 - 13x13" pieces. I assembled all four units........
I used my trusty label maker and labeled all the different wines. |
I guess I could paint the shelving but it kind of matches the pine shelving in our cold room already. So meh......I will leave it for now.
Plus I don't think I could be trusted with a paintbrush once I sample the product.
Looks like we need to make a lot more wine.
Check out my new wine labelling system. It's perfect now!!

ok I can't read any of the words on this post because your blog skin isn't loading (blogger has been having the worst issues this week!!), but I can see the pictures and OMG?? Is all of that YOUR WINE?
ReplyDeleteCAN I MOVE IN? I'll sleep in a corner by the wine, you'll never even know I'm there! Love the racks (whoever) built!!
Lol.... There's lots more wine to come! I will put a bed in the cellar for you. Cheers!
DeleteLOL ^@Katy.... Wait!!! I hope you have room for TWO cellar-dwellers!! I was planning on moving in too!! Nice job on the wine shelving. Whatcha gonna do with the other things? You could use them for.... shoe storage, purse storage, Wine storage at MY house (with YOUR wine, of course), planters? Put them on CraigsList?
ReplyDeleteYou were busy this weekend... me? Not so much.
I'll put a double bed in there! You ladies won't mind sharing. lol I offered the sonotube wine rack to my sister. Darn...it would have made an awesome purse storage unit. Where were you 6 hours ago :D
DeleteLove how the cubes worked out! Thanks for visiting and your nice comments!
ReplyDeleteMaybe a queen sized bed? :-) Love this project, sending the link to my husband right now as a subtle hint.
ReplyDeleteI'd love if you dropped by on Saturday and took part in my "Beat the Winter Blues" party.
Queen sized bed it is! I think I will and thanks for the invite!
DeleteLove the wine storage!!! I can't read what's under the pictures, though. It doesn't show up against the background on my screen....
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandy! I have changed my web background as this isn't the first time this problem has occurred. I think it only happens with the Internet Explorer browser. Hopefully this fixes that problem.
DeleteLove it, and wine! Such a great idea! I'm having a linky party as well, and would love for you to join it! Here is the link http://www.thesouthernproductqueen.com/one-stop-s... Thanks for sharing!

that is awesome! and i know now that you and i could be very good friends.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't words to describe how much I adore that wine storage!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! These are fabulous! How amazing that you made these yourself ! I don't think I could ever without cutting an apendage off. I WILL be showing this project to the hubby (I'll need his help) but this is a great storage solution for our basement. Great project, Karen!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great DIY wine shelving solution. Simple, space-saving and you can fit several hundred bottles in there. One addition that would look great in the shelving would be original wine crates. They look great and give a chateau-chic look to a wine room. If your looking for original wine crates or boxes visit Winepine - www.winepine.com
ReplyDeleteHi! Going to embark on this project this weekend. Do you remember the thickness of plywood you used?
ReplyDeleteHi Nick! Good luck. It was 3/4"
