FAQ - Storing your wine

How can you decorate your living room with a wine theme?

You can rely on furniture and accessories inspired by the world of wine: a cork-shaped coffee table, a bamboo bottle rack, a clock made from a barrel lid or a chest built from wine crates. These pieces bring a warm, original touch without cluttering the room.

What wine materials are these furniture pieces made from?

Many of these creations upcycle materials from wine: cork stoppers, barrel staves and lids, and wooden crates that once carried bottles. Workshops such as Douelle De Rêve specialise in giving these winemaking materials a second life, halfway between reuse and design.

What is a bottle rack and where should you place it?

A bottle rack is a stand that holds your bottles horizontally or slightly tilted to display them. Set on a coffee table or a console, it showcases your collection while keeping the cork in contact with the wine.

Can these decorative pieces actually store wine?

They are first and foremost decorative. For genuine ageing, wine needs darkness, humidity around 70 % and a steady temperature close to 12 °C, far from the swings of a living room. Keep bottles you plan to open soon on display, and store your cellaring bottles in a cellar or a wine cabinet.

How can you upcycle wine corks for home decor?

Cork stoppers turn easily into trivets, wall art, candle holders or small storage pieces. Light, insulating and easy to cut, cork lends itself to plenty of do-it-yourself decorating projects.
