SHOWCASE WINE COLLECTION
Stylishly
Wine-making in New Zealand has gone from strength to strength over the past 40 years and many Kiwis generally have two or three bottles of their favourite vintage at the ready for visitors and dining. Some go a step further and have wine coolers while the aficionado may even have a cellar room.
T
hose who keep six to a dozen bottles of wine on hand and want to display them simply, but differently, from a wrought iron, store-bought stand, here are a few tips.
Choose one with plenty of space and open shelving to highlight bottles, decanters and glassware. You’ll also want your hutch to have drawers and cabinets as these are helpful for storing bar tools and accessories.
• ON A BAR CART: Opt for a cart made of reclaimed wood or with an industrial metal frame. Lay out an assortment of bottles and glasses to create a look that’s as stylish as it is functional. Make sure your bar cart is on wheels so you can entertain in any room in your home. • IN A HUTCH DRESSER: Traditionally used to display dishware, this classic piece of dining room furniture can also be used to exhibit your wine collection.
The professional and trusted team of qualified tradesmen at Howick Glass offer a full range of glass and glazing services at competitive prices. With more than 45 years experience, you know you’ll be receiving top quality service and workmanship with superior products and materials.
• ON A WALL MOUNTED RACK: From simple metal pegs to elaborate wood shelving, you can display your wine collection by hanging it from a wall-mounted rack. You can choose either a vertical or horizontal model and select a style to suit your decor. Remember, the ideal temperature for storing all wines, red or white, is about 7 to 12 degrees Celsius and it’s best to keep bottles out of direct sunlight.
Established in 1966, Howick Glass has a long-standing reputation for quality service and workmanship from our trusted team of qualified tradesmen and glaziers.
