Tip for wine bottles.

[s2bear]

This is really simple and apologies if someone else already did this but clattering wine bottles in the cupboard were annoying me.

So… thick elastic bands round the tops and bottoms of alternate bottles stops them rattling and sliding laterally when in the cupboard. See pic for what I’m actually wittering on about.

We use the same type of black elastic bands off Amazon for our several 'Tupperware' type boxes, even if they have secure clip closure, for similar reasons. Stops rattling and slipping about.

Many good wines are also in boxes now in France. Easier, lighter, safer, and stackable to carry than bottles. Quality does not suffer if drunk slowly. Adopt to conditions.

Reminds me of an old quip:

'French wine gets better by the glass. After one, you're anybody's. After two you're everybody's. And after three, even the wife looks attractive!

We brought our wine back from France recently in boxes................. 8 of them with 6 bottles in each! 'Hic'

and the best thing about a box is you never have the conundrum of whether or not to open another bottle, there's always one more glass.....

For the beach owners: if anyone was wondering, 15 wine bottles fit nicely into the cubby under the cooker. If you pop a tea towel in the remaining gap, they don’t rattle. And they don’t impede the bench seat movement - which, when pulled forwards, covers the top of the wine bottles.

Nice trick. Will have to try that. Just be careful storing wine in there during the summer. The hot temperatures can can the cork to pop.

We learned that the hard way when an entire bottle of chouchen (honey wine from Brittany) emptied itself at the bottom of your kitchen cupboard during the 2022 heatwave in France. I’m not sure where it went exactly. But for weeks afterwards, we had pools of chouchen appear on the edge of the kitchen cupboard.
