"Out of control" is a purely subjective thing. Keep up the good work!

The majority of my racks are free standing.

Worst thought is, what if I ever had to move it all out of the house? Where would I find enough empty wine boxes and who would carry the over 100 cases out of the basement?

My mom always told me if I made the mess, I had to clean it up... :h
