My sister-in-law is getting married in april and on her registry she has a wine rack. I want to buy her that along with a wine. I dont drink wine so I dont know much about it. I asked my friend’s mom who works in fine dining and she said to get a white merlot because it is like a red but lighter. What brand of white merlot should I get? I want to get her a good gift so I dont really want to get a brand that is sold in Walmart. any ideas?

Okay I saw this picture and the idea was wonderful. It was a large antique style wine rack with built in boxes for the wine bottles- open ones and about 40-45 boxes. It looked so unnique. I am thinking of using the same idea as I have a long narrow passage in my new apartment that could go waste if we didnt use it as a shoe rack. I also want to put a bench there to sit down and remove your shoes.
I saw some contemporary ones at target and walmart, but they dont have that feel What I do like about this one is that it has a drawer on top for socks etc

Let me know what you think about this whole idea.
Our apartment is one 1 BR and about 700 sq feet only and we have about 30-40 pairs of shoes ( I know-vain couple!:-)))

at Walmart, and GM & Ford going under? And how did the housing industry go from 25% increase in value to -15% per month?
