tilted wine rack
Hello....planning on putting a small wine cellar in the former cold
storage room. I always thought bottles were kept at an angle. I was considering racks angled one inch lower towards the back wall...to keep the bottles in place and moisture on the cork...that is the heel of the bottle facing outwards. Nothing I can find searching the web cofirms this. Any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated. CB

tilted wine rack
I believe that most wine racks simply have the bottle lying
horizontal. Can;t think of any reason to have the bottle neck slanted down greater than horizontal.

Hock bottles are not very stable unless interleaved point to point. If i had it to do again i would have made by racks 18" deep so I could interleave everything. The cork will stay wet level. Joe
