Looks good to me....

You need more wine to fill it....or.... more bottles on the bottom to distribute the weight....I am a real worry-wart about stuff falling over...

You will have it filled in no time. I thought that a rack that held 200 bottles would be more than I needed. I am already planing to build my second rack.

//me goes to the cellar to put some bottles on the bottom.

i tied the rack to the wall with rope this way it dont tip over,
but i wanted to put the top row of wine on the bottom..Edited by: Dominick

It will fill up fast believe me. I have a little over 700 i think now in my room and had to give away some of the 1's I really wasnt fond of to make room for my next bottling. After that Im not sure what Im going to do with them. I think its time to build another rack but no more walls to mount them on. I guess it will have to be a free standing unit in the middle but it will be tight in there. Its time to dig downwards!

700! nice! -

i might do something with cellar eventually..
i really like the tabletop wine racks or 25gallon hungarian oak barrels.
Just let the stuff age for years, if u ever need a bottle take it from the spigot.

You wont want to take it from the barrel as you want to keep it topped off just like a carboy and wine evaporates out of barrels so you have to keep an eye on it. Also, unless you get a neutral barrel you wont want to keep wine in at that long as you will over oak it.
