Wine Stocking Recommendations Specially designed wine racks allow for the proper horizontal storage of wine. The bottles are properly positioned so that the wine remains in contact with the cork to assure that the cork does not become dry. Cascading Wine Racks The U-Line Wine Captain drawers are equipped with a proprietary mechanism that allows the wine racks to automatically cascade outward as each drawer is opened.

Suggestions for Matching Food and Wine Although there are no hard fast rules for matching wine to food, observe some guidelines. Delicate dishes should be accompanied by lighter more delicate wines. Fullflavored foods should be matched with fuller-bodied wines. As a general rule, one should aim to ascend in flavor and quality of wines served.
