Wine Wedge

Wine Wedge

December 7th 2011 | Home & Garden

Ridiculously simple yet practical beyond belief and the Wine Wedge is so basic it barely needs explaining. The idea is to bung the wedge under the lowest possible flank of a bottle/can and then start stacking. You can use a single wedge for stacking against a wall, or a pair of wedges to create a sturdy pyramid of bottles or cans. Think of it as a virtually invisible wine rack.
