Now where do I hide all this?
Having gotten all that wine home with much paranoia I had to store them in the cellar which meant I had to finish assembling my 72 bottle Bordex wine rack. For anyone as uncoordinated as this manchild it would be safer, faster, easier and nicer to stick with the pre-assembled racks. In addition to the pre-assembled 42 bottle Bordex rack I got, I now have regular space for 114 bottles, disturbingly that isn't too far off from being filled with wine.
The good thing about the Bordex wine racks is that they can be joined together to add capacity as you need it and to make the use of odd shaped areas. As long term storage for wine they are both practical and elegant. In addition to being a blessing for the uncoordinated the pre-assembled racks also seem to be of better build. Then again that could just be because my clumsy hands haven't bashed them around.
Wine racks are fine for long term storage of, all together now, a-week's-worth-of-take-home-pay of Bin 707s if you got a cellar that keeps a lid on dampness and temperature. However for the majority of the proletariat what they class as cellar space is dank and prone to harmful fluctuations in temperature. There's an Aussie company that manufatures wine cabinets that recreate cellar conditions and are far cheaper than building a cellar or buying/renting a house with one.
The company builds wine cabinets to suit tough Australian conditions. Prices are kept down due to the lack of fancy trimmings as these cabinets are meant for long term storage of wine,, not displaying trinkets. The cabinets use Peltier coolers which don't use any moving parts except for a small fan. The reviews seem to be positive and definitely one to consider when I eventually don't have access to a cellar so I can sleep at night with all that wine resting peacefully.
