Designs for Better Boozing: The Don Vino Wine Table

Wine cellars are classy and a convenient way to store bulk wine out of sight. In contrast, if you have 16 bottles of wine stashed all over your kitchen, you look like a raging alcoholic.

If you’ve got a taste for the vino and can’t afford to have a wine cellar added to your home, this table provides a functional alternative. The Don Vino Wine Table, by upstate-New-York-based Chicone Cabinetmakers, is “inspired by the oak barrels that line the cellars of the Finger Lake’s regional wineries” and holds a dozen and four bottles of rotgut.

In addition to the version above, which is coffee-table height at 21 inches, they also offer a 36-inch-tall “bistro” version, below. (I prefer the leg style on that one.)

Far as I can tell the table doesn’t spin, but the room will after you get through three or four bottles.
