Wine storage idea December 31, 2007, 09:52:41 am Yahoo Message Number: 87707I carry a "few" bottles of wine in (single and) double neoprene wine totes; single carriers can be more versatile if one needs to stash the wine in different locations. Here's one less expensive source of the totes (Amazon) with good selection.http://tinyurl.com/2f4dgbThe neoprene "sock" provides some insulation and protection against breaking for the wine bottle, and is handy when taking one's wine to a "social gathering". The open top of the carrier provides a clear view of the cork top label. As ever, YMMV. ;-)Joan

I figure that if we're in a crash, the least of our problems will be wine stains. For those oenophiles in South Florida...a great (small) chain...Total Wine...a fabulous store; Publix grocery stores also have a great selection and currently many wine distributors are offering lots of discounts and Publix also has in-store specials...maybe it's the neighborhood, but for a little and older store, their selections are amazing. I've also found occasionally in Marshall's/TJMaxx/HomeGoods (at discount prices), as well as in those big linen-bath-kitchen stores (no discounts), the wine coolers that you store in the freezer and slip around a bottle of wine on demand. They're flexible and take very very little space (I store 3 in the freezer door).Tina P "Wild Thing" 06 MBT,_._,___Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

Why waste precious storage space on wine?? --- Eh? Did I miss something? Every answering post subsequent to your initial "botle storage" post discusses "wine" storage; Tina didn't "hi- jack" the thread, and I can't see where anyone else did, either. Also, the heading on your photo file says "adult beverages"; I was always under the impression that wine *was* an "adult beverage", but YMMV. A Happy New Year to all, whether what you imbibe comes in a box, a can, a bottle, a carton, a bota, a jug, or a drip bag and tube! ;-)Joan

These are lighter than glass, pack more efficiently, don't break, and fit into the fridge more easily.They get my vote.Ginger
Re: Wine storage idea Reply #5 – January 03, 2008, 04:38:13 pm Yahoo Message Number: 87844I carry bottles of adult beverage, both wine and alcohol, in white gym socks. I don't have much use for socks where I like to stay but I do have a large bag of them along just in case. Most have never been worn on my feet but I do slip all bottles into one and then store under the dinette or under the refrigerator. They don't clink, they look like a mass of white cotton when the border inspectors peer in the bin and if I ever end up where it is cold I can always drink all the booze and then put the socks on my feet.-- Jonna in Tortuga, 2001 Teal RB 'Tortuga' Find us MAPhttp://map.datastormusers.com/user2.cfm?user=1013> Follow the BLOG herehttp://www.baddog.com/blog/blog.html>[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
