Brother in law makes a nice wineglass holder that stakes in the ground next to your chair, we know when the sister in law has had too many, she misses the glass holder
cheers

for travel I have bought cheap stubby holders and pack the glasses in them.

I have 2 crystal wine glasses and they travel in the box they came in....so far so good and they have traveled many, many klms so far.

How clever... I was wondering how to store the wine bottles.... we're starting to figure out where everything goes now *grin*

The larger pvc pipes on top 110mm, are for my larger bourbon bottles.

Very nice Dick,

What do you put under the pipe, is that a once piece board or two runners (one back and one front)? Also what length do you make the pipe?

Thanks

I read somewhere someone with a new van had a bottle of wine in an overhead cupboard, rolled around, knocked the door open and landed on the van table, damaging the door and table top, not to mention the mess.......

Try forgetting to lock the frige door and having the beetroot all over the place....now that is a real mess.

It only ever happened once.....never again...fridge door gets locked even when standing still. LOL

Had a beetroot stain in a fridge once, wasn't able to get it out whatever we tried!

Mine was splashed all over the cupboards and floor....not a pretty sight.

I have demonstrated my cupboard storage methods before with the vege baskets to get double shelves with the ledge to stop stuff tumbling out.
I lay the cups down on non-slip pads in the basket. I only use acrylic glasses and they don't break. My wine is in a bladder I take out of the box. It fits in the fridge easier, not so bulky and easy to keep cold.
My bevvy of choice is Chateau C'board Muscato.
I learnt to pack and stack on boats before non-slip matting was invented. Don't stand things up if you can lie them down, packed close together to reduce rolling and tumbling, even glass doesn't break. I do have a couple of glass tumblers.
Bottles, jars, cans, all laid down and packed closely together is the way to go.
If the road is rough enough, even the black top gets pot holes and rough road works the glasses and cups will jump out of your stands. Looks lke a good idea, but I'm not sure that it's so practical.

I hang my red wine cask from a tree, so its about 12 inches off ground . Makes pouring so much easier when sitting by fire. Ranger thought it was u-beaut!

Hang it a little higher and attach a piece of plastic tube, it's even easier.. ;0)

The trouble with wine out in the open, especially in the tropics, is "room temperature" is a little high for my taste. I prefer my bevvies to be slightly off the boil.
And for all you red wine "experts" out there, it does taste much nicer when it's cool from the fridge.

Driving along the other day when for some unknown reason one of the wine glasses in a special rack just exploded. Huge bang. Thought the TV might have dropped off the wall. Frightened the life out of me. As could be expected was on the freeway and couldn't pull over for quite a while. Relieved to find it was only a glass. Took a bit of work to get all the glass up though.

Pipes need only be 250mm long. 40 mm riser in front only to slope backwoods. Cant fall forwood. Place on non slip rubber.

That would be scary Chi Chi, be interesting to find out why !

Thanks Dick, I wasn't sure, sounds ok to me! Good idea!
