Best use for a wine rack other than wine is dust I find. And my daughter also uses ours for all her odds and ends she collects in party bags which I find rather irritating.

First of all, paint your kitchen blue.

Install a large halogen lamp on a dimmer in the top rack, and a blue LED lamp in the next hole, again on a dimmer.
Dim and illuminate the 2 lamps alternately, while opening and closing your fridge/ freezer door at 183 'dim' intervals.
Now enter your kitchen for the turner prize, as an art installation representing the passage of time and season in a domestic context
At a feminist art gallery.

Or something.

First of all, paint your kitchen white.

Place a smoke machine in the void behind the units, then obtain chrome thermos flasks (with an identical circumference to the holes in the rack) and push the flasks snugly home in the rack. Neck facing out, of course.

You can now entertain the family by re-enacting various tropes from sci-fi movies in a 21st century domestic context, including:

- Save the world from nuclear disaster by returning the fission rods to their unstable reactor.
- Creating Frankenstein DNA in a 50s B-movie.
- Refuelling the Starship Enterprise by consulting Spock, then adding 'xorium cells' to the lightdrive, which you plundered from the planet Xoz.

can anybody play this game?

First, paint your kitchen green.

Then, take one golf club (failing that a croquet mallet will do) and one ball...

Not deserted - just very busy! And next time, I might not use the word 'creative' - but hey, if jc808 has the time, who's to stop him?

A friend of mine has something similar and has put fake ivy trailing over the front, tied a little of it to the metal with silver thread to secure it.

Buy a quality fake ivy and it doesn't look plastic at all, cheaper ones look naff imo.

I read recently that wine racks are unecessary now as most wines should be stored upright.

Any wine that is sealed with a cork should be stored horizontally as the wine soaks into the cork keeping it air-tight. If the bottle is stored vertically, the cork dries out, allows air to permeate, and the bottle becomes corked.

I have simply given up buying wine now all the local off licenses have closed. Supermarkets only seem to stock cheap plonk and the last five bottles I bought have all been corked.
