Wine Racks - A Tasteful Toast to Christmas

No Christmas is complete without a heart-felt toast with a glass of your favorite red wine! But don’t hide the beautiful bottle away in a cabinet – show it off with a stunning and sophisticated wine rack!

Wine racks are an impressive place to display and store your collection of wines and to make serving a glass stylish and convenient. Wine enthusiasts will recognize the unification of function and fashion, whether you have a couple of bottles to exhibit or a widespread wine cellar to take care of. Wine racks come in a variety of styles and sizes, so it’s important to find the right wine rack to fit your needs and your home décor.

Some styles of wine racks are modular wine racks, table top wine racks, wine cabinets, and wine carts. Stackable and modular racks offer an expandable design to customize how much space your have available for your vintages. They are mostly made for the wine cellar and allow the perfect amount of air circulation. Table top wine racks are a compact solution to display and store your wines so you can have easy access to them at all times. They are great for those who do not have a lot of extra space. Wine cabinets, on the other hand, are a larger, more durable storing option for your home. If you would like a wine rack that is mobile, consider a wine cart. Wine carts are convenient and feature luxury rolling casters for easy movement to the dining room, kitchen, or outdoors.

Before your Christmas celebration, arrange your wine rack with a diverse assortment of red and white wines. Sometimes choosing the right wine can be intimidating for those who are not acquainted with the art. To alleviate some of the pressure, consider asking a wine expert at your local liquor store, picking up a few wine magazines, or attending a wine tasting. With a little guidance and by following your taste buds, you will have built an impressive wine rack that you and your guests can enjoy!

While you’re collecting fine wines for your new wine rack, don’t forget to stock up on helpful wine accessories – such as glassware, wine refrigerators, wine stoppers, wine decanters, wine coolers, wine coasters, and wine openers!

Before you set the dinner table, protect your table with tasteful Christmas table linens. To avoid having the table look busy or cluttered, choose rich, solid-colored holiday linens in festive shades, such as cranberry red. The Christmas table linens will serve as the backdrop to your designer-looking table. From there, accent your dining table with the same color palette. Christmas home accents can include napkin rings, place cards, charms on the wine glasses, flowers, candles, coasters, Christmas tableware, and centerpieces.

When it comes to holiday tableware, mixing and matching patterns and styles is acceptable. The important thing is to try to keep your color scheme consistent. Also, don’t be afraid to add crystal drinkware – it’s an instant, dazzling way to add elegance and grace to the dinner table!
For formal dining, set your Christmas dinner plates equidistant apart with a napkin neatly folded in the center of each plate. Arrange your Christmas silverware around the plate in the order that they will be used, making sure that knives have their blade turned toward the plate and that forks are at the left of the plate. Above the forks, place the bread plate, and to the left of the plate place the water glass, followed by the wine glass.

A Christmas dinner table should be a relaxing and comforting place to gather. Follow these simple tips for a stylish and elegant holiday dinner table that will impress guests of all ages!
