Wine rack ?

[MitchandJenny]

Lay them flat on top of one another with tea towels in between, 4 layers deep. (So I’ve heard)
Just sayin.

Does anyone have a proper wine rack in their motorhome? Or has anyone adapted a locker in any way? We have a bracket that holds 2 bottles in a locker but my wife is moaning theres no proper storage for her extensive array of potential refreshments.

I'll see your 2 bottles and raise you.
Our Pilote has a dedicated wine rack that holds Three!!!

I appreciate your own Jilly Golden may turn her nose at this 50%increase but it also has a double floor that can be accessed from the inside, essential if one doesn't wish to get wet/cold/burnt when choosing from ones 'cellar'

Many years ago during an early visit to france we went into a cave in Beaune,We said we were passing through and would like some good Burgundy to take on our journey.
.He said you would spoil the wine if you had it bouncy around in your vehicle!

That's similar, with regard to airlines.
When selecting wines for the flight, they factor in turbulence and (general) motion usually selecting wines with little sediment. Some airlines put it in the contract that the wine must be strained/decanted.

Bit like Worthington White Shield IPA that I used to dispense in a pub in Brighton. Some regulars expected it to be poured very carefully to avoid any sediment in the glass. Others were the "all in" brigade. They knew that the sediment kept you in "good running order".

Which Brighton pub, and when?

Circa 1968-9. I forget the name, but East End with a strip club round the corner. We used to get hoards of men coming in looking for directions

Grotneys pub, managed by a couple who had spent most of their life in Singapore, I think. It was a small, quiet locals pub. I imagine it’s long gone.

The Rusholme pub we used to drink in, I started insisting I would pour it myself after the new barmaid gave one bottle a quick shake before upending it into the glass

Three bottles were £2.10, the same price as two pints of Greenalls which was $hi!t3

Can't get the staff. In a bar in Bilbao a couple of weeks ago the barmaid tried to open a new bottle of wine with an ordinary corkscrew. She made two turns so the corkscrew started to engage with the cork, then held the corkscrew while she attempted to turn the bottle. No discount, but nice smile, for the customer demonstrating how to do it properly ;-)

There have been several answers to the title about a wine rack that have given solutions with the bottles vertical.

I always thought that a wine rack, by definition, had to have the bottles horizontal: the reason being that it kept the corks moist and prevented any air incursion to spoil the wine.

Am I right?

Of course, those of us who buy and consume in the same week do not need to consider such matters.

When corks were cork, not plastic.

Yes, that's correct.
