Displaying Your Wine With A Wine Rack Bar


The challenge when decorating a living space lies in the ability to provide a comfortable, functional environment while still including all of the design elements that you enjoy. With the display of items that have meaning to you, you draw people into your home and give them a glimpse into your personality. For wine lovers, the display of a beautiful collection can add instant sophistication to any room. And the functionality of a wine rack bar allows you to accomplish this while still maximizing space and providing useful storage.

A wine rack bar serves a dual function, storing and displaying wine bottles, while providing space for serving drinks. It can be a wonderful way to pull a room together, ridding it of clutter, and organizing wine bottles into an effective and usable system.

When choosing a wine rack bar, look first at the overall look of the room in which you will place it. Be sure the wine rack bar blends into your general d?cor; this can be achieved quite easily as wine racks come in a variety of styles, colors, and materials. Constructed of solid wood of many varieties, metal, and wrought iron, the wine rack bar can lend itself to a range of different decorating themes. So if a contemporary design is what you?re looking to achieve, then a wine rack bar made of metal or sleek wood will easily fit your requirements; if it?s a country feel you enjoy, then a lighter wood or even wrought iron design may help you achieve your desired result.

A wine rack bar should also correspond to both the size of your living space and the size of your wine collection. For the display of just a few bottles ? or in smaller living environments ? a simple, smaller wine rack bar will fit quite nicely. For larger wine bottle collections ? or in larger living spaces ? you can get away with a more grandiose wine rack bar. Additionally, if you also choose to display and store stemware and barware, you may choose to look for a wine rack bar that has a bit more accessories than the simpler designs.

Once you take space, style, and price into consideration you?re ready to find the perfect wine rack bar. Start by looking in furniture stores ? you may be surprised at the affordable beautiful designs. But no matter where you purchase your wine rack bar, you will surely find its presence one that brings organization and sophistication to your home.

Happy hours in Muscat

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 21:52:35 PDT
On the night most of my colleagues were attending a staff party ahead of the forthcoming launch of a new national newspaper for Abu Dhabi, I flew to Muscat for a pre-arranged weekend away The clash was unfortunate, and I am sure the party was special. But the break had been booked before the event was announced. And I had decided in 1986 and especially in 1987, when I was there previously, that Oman was rather special too. On the strength of an admittedly brief visit, nothing seems to hav

Sweet with a side of feet

Recently I tried the new Moscato from Barefoot Wine. It retails for about $6.99. Moscato stands for “musky”; the grapes come from the Muscat family of grapes. They are used to make table wines, sweeter sparkling wines, or dessert wines. Barefoot describes theirs as “semi-sweet.” Oh no… it’s way sweeter than that. We decided to try it with some chicken. Or rather, “chickenfish”. We used Old Bay seasoning, a lemon/herb type of seasoning, on some chicken thighs. It kind of made the chicken tas
