Vintage At Heart Wine Riddling Rack

Filed under: Decor, Wine

I've seen plenty of companies that sell platters and trays made from used oak wine barrels but this is the first time I have seen a riddling rack used as home decor. A riddling rack is a bottle holder which is used in making sparkling wine. During the champagne-making process the wine bottles are set in a riddling rack and twisted each day to gradually send the sediment toward the mouth of the bottle where it is eventually frozen and then removed. The riddling rack, which is A-framed, holds 120 bottles and can make a very authentic wine bottle holder. The larger racks can cost as much at $750 for the intensive handwork and shipping. Vintage at Heart also sells beautiful old wood vineyard baskets from Moet & Chandon, wine barrel lazy susans and wine staves that have been turned into serving trays.
