Wine rack ?

[Daveo2006]

Does anyone have a proper wine rack in their motorhome? Or has anyone adapted a locker in any way? We have a bracket that holds 2 bottles in a locker but my wife is moaning theres no proper storage for her extensive array of potential refreshments.

You need a van with a cellar..

 

[Zigisla]

Adapt the garage into a cellar.

Take boxes easier to store or fill your fresh water tank up with wine so its always on tap

 

[icantremember]

Forget the bottles .... just fill the now redundant fresh water tank with your wine of choice.
Edit .. great minds think alike

Buy a Rapido?. No Joke. We found that the French had provided several "holes" sized to take 1Litre Bottles! in two of the under seat Lockers!!!

Boxes is the way, take up less space per 3ltr and weigh in less

I only buy 10 litre boxes from Leclerc.

Jokes aside, we can't be let loose in the carrefour. The first stop in there is to collect lots of empty wine boxes only to fill them up again. Its always a trolley full.Good selection though.

We only go on the way back and do exactly the same

Why would you want to store wine?
We buy wine to drink ----- and then we buy some more.
Repeat every 24 hours - or even sooner!

Although ----- it often comes complete with a wine rack.

Wine usually doesn't last long enough when we are out and about to make it to a rack

This ones a goody - cheap and flexible - fits any where

Well, I have been known to have a selection of at least 45 bottles of wine in my small MH. I just can not comprehend how anyone is looking to accomodate more than 2 bottles

I'm resurrecting this ancient thread as there was no viable answer given at the time, and as we all evolve with age (much like a fine wine), and no serious wine drinker buys it in a box, I ask if anybody finally found the answer to travelling with 6 or more bottles of wine? I currently use a couple of those plastic boxes in one of the cupboards and with foam between the bottles to stop them knocking together but it is not ideal. Any solutions out there?

We have a wicker wine basket, takes six bottles. Refilled weekly, or earlier as required. We don't usually do boxes while travelling.

Exceptionally, we visited a Carrefour in Bilbao, to take some boxes home. They only had crap Spanish wine, and only one choice in 3lt size. We ended up taking bottles, as per usual.

 

[nicholsong]

Just seen date of OP(2015) - wine should be nicely aged by now.

 

[BillyBear]

We use those plastic wine carriers from the supermarket that hold six bottles and then slot one behind the drivers seat and another one behind the passenger seat. Perfect fit

Many years ago during an early visit to france we went into a cave in Beaune,We said we were passing through and would like some good Burgundy to take on our journey.
.He said you would spoil the wine if you had it bouncy around in your vehicle!

Up to a point, that is true, especially fine aged wines. However, these days most wines we buy in the supermarket are 100% natural and will not suffer a little movement so long as you do not leave and forget it for 6 months.
