Alternative use for wine rack holes?!

Surely you'll still need some storage for the 4 bottles of wine that you rarely drink?
The less you drink, the more you'll need to store...
I find I need very little storage for mine...

Agreed. I have about 15 holes for mine, and hardly any ever seem to be filled for long!

Hi,

you could use them for holding slippers/trainers/wellies, (open end in first), handy for a quick change from kitchen to garden.

I read recently that wine racks are unecessary now as most wines should be stored upright. Now they tell us! I would go for a selection of towels and tea towels in co-ordinating colours, not to use you understand, just to look nice! or cleaning cloths, you can get some bonny coloured micro fleece types, or how about things like rolling pins, that take up a lot of room in the drawer..?

Create your own 'nuclear missile silos' by filling each rack hole with a papier mache "missile" - if you dont have the time to do this get someone else to do it (But not the kids during art class - guaranteed visit from social services!!)

Over a dinner party, you and some lefty mates can hold your own CND 'sit in' on your kitchen floor (If you and your OH are swingers, you can hold a 'love in' too) and achieve the ultimate 'free love/ hippy' resolution by storming your kitchen worktop and filling the silo holes with - yes - WINE BOTTLES!!!

I use mine for keeping plastic carrier bags in, kitchen towels, bottled water and bath mats (but that last one might only work for me as the bathroom is next to the kitchen )

Firstly, remove the back from the wine rack so there is a void behind the rack holes.

Now capture a lively mole from your garden and stuff it into the back of the rack holes. Grip a wooden mallet firmly. Your mole will try and escape via any hole he can find.
Voila! Your own, personal whack-a-mole game*

jc808, I think:
a) you are barking
b) you have too much time on your hands

First of all, paint your kitchen black.

Fix an array of chains and hand/ feet shackles to the wall (Which you have prepped by hacking off the plaster, back to bare brick.
Dress your wife head to toe in PVC/ rubber and a small, "robin the boy wonder" style mask. You can now operate your own, personal BDSM 'dungeon' - complete with wine rack holes for storing whips, sex toys or sense-enhancing sexual drugs.
