<b><u><br /></u></b>
Beaucastel brings back fond memories. It was the first wine box we sold when Winepine started 11 years ago. The beautifully decorated cote of arms design always takes me back to that time.<br />
<br />
Chateaneuf Du Pape Beaucastel is among the most revered vineyard in all of Rhone. Not much has changed throughout the near millennia since it's land has been producing wine in modern France. Although the Beaucastel name wasn't truly established until the 14th century, it's quite likely that it's land was producing wine well before the 1st century. When you look at this wine box your looking at a tiny piece of recorded history.<br />
<br />
Many of the ancient vines were destroyed by Phylloxera in the 19th century, but since the replanting a few decades later the vines were restored to their former glory. I purchased a few bottles of 2007 for a Thanksgiving party and they were finished in the blink of an eye. Although it would've been nice to experience wine from vines dating back hundreds of years, I can't imagine the legendary Beaucastel quality to be that much more significant during any period of time.</div>
<u><b><br /></b></u>
<u><b>Country:</b></u> France<br />
<br />
<u><b>Region:</b></u> Rhone<br />
<br />
<u><b>Sub-Region:</b></u> Chateauneuf Du Pape<br />
<br />
<u><b>Established:</b></u> 1321<br />
<br />
<u><b>Production:</b></u> 8,000 cases averaged among 5 different single vineyard plots<br />
<br />
<u><b>Grape:</b></u> Makes both Rhone grape varietal reds and whites<br />
<br />
<u><b>Box design:</b></u> Historic Beaucastel Cote of Arms engraved on the front side<br />
<br />
<u><b>Rarity:</b></u> Fairly. Some vintages are made without wooden wine boxes<br />
<br />
<u><b>Crate designation:</b></u> Collector's ($35.00)<br />
<br />
<u><b>Our opinion/history:</b></u> Chateauneuf means "New Castle of the Popes" and Beaucastel was the first Rhone vineyard in which the Vatican acquired to make Sacramental wine. There's a deep and rich history of this vineyard that dates back 1,000 years or more, and most of the wines from the region pair well with hearty meats.<br />

Very few vineyards make them and the ones that do have either tiny productions or only make them for special vintages. They are one of my favorite regions for wine boxes.<br />
<br />
Some have highly detailed pictures or designs. Others have a unique text/font and that's it. For some reason I find them captivating. Maybe it's the smooth Spanish wood or the architecture displayed on some of them. Perhaps it's just because there's so few of them which makes each one a treasure.<br />
<br />
Spain as a wine making country is one of the few "hybrid" producers of both old and new world styles. This is seen clearly in their wine crates and boxes/ Some have that charming vintage look and some have a sleek modern appeal.<br />
<br />
To be fair, alot of the crates displayed below only came in once so we have none in stock at the moment. I seem to have a penchant of creating blog posts of crates we aren't able to sell...<br />
<br />
In any event I want to share these with you and hopefully one day we'll be able to supply you with some!<br />

<b>Bodegas Vega Sicilia</b>: One of my all-time favorites. The Bodegas is lightly engraved with a very high detail picture of the vineyard estate on the front and back sides. The lid has an old world logo design. This is a hybrid 3 bottle wine case.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Remelluri</b>: This is a very old world vineyard with a modern style design wooden wine box. Normally I'd call this a hybrid, but the Remelluri vineyard dates back to the 14th century so no dice on that. I love the elegantly designed picture of the vineyard and estate on the front and back sides. This is a medium 6 bottle wine box, and I've only seen two of these in my life.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions about Spanish wine boxes or would like to get on our waiting list feel free to give me a call or shoot me an e-mail. Also, we get alot of e-mails from people looking to identify some of the crates they have. If you have a wine box or crate you'd like more info on i'd be happy to help with that.<br />

These spectacular wine rooms all have one thing in common: They were all decorated with original wine boxes and crates. All have either custom shelving or plenty of room to display them. Hopefully they'll give you some inspiration!</div>

You'd be hard-pressed to find a person anywhere that isn't familiar with wine and wouldn't enjoy a glass as you spoke with them. The soldiers of the Roman Empire considered it food, and drank it instead of water because it was a safer way to hydrate.<br />
<br />
It's widely known by real estate agents and experts that a wine cellar increases the value of your home. Wine isn't just a drink, but is often a way to connect with friends and loved ones making a wine cellar a perfect place to entertain. Hosting social events in your cellar gives an aesthetic value but not necessarily a monetary one. Collecting wine however can quickly become a way to invest, and that's a big reason why having a wine cellar often makes your home more valuable.<br />
<br />
In order to invest in wine you'll need a place to store it. Hearty Bordeaux and Burgundy wines are the most commonly collectible wines. This is because the grapes used in Bordeaux take many years to peak. You can drink them young but won't get the best experience until they reach full maturity. That can take as long as 15-30 years. Keeping the wine in it's best possible storage condition is the only way to get maximum value. This is called provenance.<br />
<br />
There are 3 key characteristics to achieve the best in provenance for fine wine:<br />
<ul>
<li>Darkness</li>
<li>Temperature control</li>
<li>Keeping the bottles flat on their sides</li>
</ul>
<div>
Once you have a steady temperature-control room the rest of these needs are covered with original wooden wine crates and boxes. Wine crates are designed for bottle storage because they're built to keep bottles on their sides, while maintaining darkness and a slightly cooler temperature than if the bottles were held in traditional racks and exposed to light. They also make moving wine much easier because your moving 12 bottles at a time instead of one-by-one with your hands. When your ready to sell your prized wines at a profit you can simply give the full case to the wine appraiser for sale. Not only will the wine be valued for what it is, but the complete collection of wine in it's original crate will fetch more at auction. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wine investing and collecting can be fun but sometimes it's all about business. The aesthetic quality of a wine cellar is also important too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most wine cellars are in basements where the temperature is cooler. This is usually the most cost-effective option. Basements are often not selling points when buying a house. A wine cellar with a bar or entertainment area there takes an unused space and turn it into a huge benefit. The moment your buyer steps into the gorgeous wine room you've built it'll take their breath away...</div>

Wine crates have a vintage appeal that adds a special charm to a wine room or cellar. They captivate the imagination while matching both modern and old world decor styles beautifully. A wine room is never quite complete unless it's adorned with them. The above picture is one of my favorites, and everytime I look at this space I get inspired. That's what a wine cellar or room should do for everyone.<br />

This year for 2015 we had many more projects with wine panels than we did with wine boxes or crates. Nevertheless we were given some truly stunning pictures!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the 319 Wine and Cheese shop in Tallahassee FL. The back wall of the shop has nearly 200 original wooden wine crate panels representing dozens of different vineyards from all over the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The special piece shown above was designed for an Italian restaurant in Boston. The wine panels on the base wall are mostly from Napa and Italian vineyards, and were all deeply finished with a natural lacquer. All of these panels were from the Premier line of Collector's panels.</div>

A lovely wine cellar with a base trim wainscot of Collector's panels. A light strip was placed above the base for illumination. This is one of the more innovative designs that I've seen in 2015.</div>

This is a bar table for a wine room which was covered in wine panels and epoxied to create a glass-like finish covering the table-top. All are Collector's style and this is easily one of my all-time favorites.</div>

The picture above is an old world style wine cellar with rope bottle display. The back wall has a random wainscot trim collector's and First Growth backdrop. This space took over a year to design and is full of vintage character!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We featured this storied wine art piece called "Reminiscence" earlier in the year. It's a montage of original Collector's wine panels mixed with wine corks and memorabilia from the travels of a lovely couple through different wine countries. Even the custom hanging bottle lights were part of the experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly we have the very popular industrial-style layered shelving designed by the renowned Etsy seller <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/UrbanFarmhouseGroup">Urban Farmhouse Group</a> with <a href="http://www.winepine.com/store/original-wine-crates/6-bottle-wine-boxes/">Medium Collector's Wine Boxes</a> from Winepine. It's a work of art which gets lots of re-pins and likes on our social media sites.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that sums up the client project highlights for 2015. Hope you have a Happy New Year and we look forward to working with you in 2016!</div>

Record store owners and vinyl enthusiasts are always looking for a unique way to store and display their musical treasures. You can always go with a leather flip-top case or some other standard option, but that isn't nearly as fun as going with something eye-catching and different. If you happen to be a wine enthusiast or enjoy a vintage style look, the most attractive option for vinyl display would be an original wooden wine box.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Vinyl record storage in wine boxes is tricky though because most records average 12 1/4"<br />

Most original wooden wine boxes or crates are 12" in width on the inside dimensions, so they're just a touch too small<br />

In the past what we'd do is disassemble the wine box and shave down the sides with a surface planer. We'd then put the box back together. This became a problem because the shaved-down sides decreased the durability of the crates, and it also increased the cost of them because it took so much time to do. Over time the sides would crack from use and we'd have to re-make them.<br />
<br />
Because of this issue we told customers that asked for crates large enough to hold vinyl that we couldn't do it. The solution to this problem was right underneath our noses...<br />
<br />

<br />
The best format for vinyl ended up being a fairly rare format of wine box called a 6 bottle magnum size. They're oversized, stack-able and square shaped designed to hold 6 magnum sized wine bottles, and are perfect for record display/storage. Ever since this discovery we've been getting more and more requests for them. Unfortunately we don't get many of them in because most vineyards don't make them. They're almost exclusively from select French wineries, and only a few dozen are made per vintage/per winery. We may be able to offer them on the Winepine website at some point, but at the moment we don't have enough in stock to maintain a regular supply. If your interested in one or more for your own record collection give me a call or shoot me an e-mail: These also make perfect gifts for music lovers.<br />

Happy Holidays!<br />

Perhaps your looking for a way to enhance the look of your living space to make it feel more inviting and nostalgic?<br />
<br />
Picture this: It's dusk and silent. Your standing out on your old world style patio on a gorgeous villa in St. Emilion. While you enjoy the scenic beauty, you realize there's a small French village to your left that hasn't changed much in 100 years. As you soak in the eclectic surroundings, you look to the right and see an ancient single vineyard plot with grapevines that seem to stretch on forever. The mood is light and your sipping on a fine Cabernet from those same grapes. There's a gentle breeze caressing your hair and a subtle aroma of flowers in the air. The sun is beginning to set, the temperature is perfect and your mind is at ease. You don't have a care in the world. You've come for Paris but ended up in a Bordeaux chateau. What a story you'll have to tell when you get back home...<br />
<br />
If you ask me, I'd be ok with every day ending like that. Unfortunately life gets in the way and most of us don't get this rare experience until we vacation in France. Every other day we have family and work. Nowadays it's easy to get caught up in the routine, but as time flies and days go by, how do you capture the exquisite feeling from that magical vacation?<br />
<br />
You bring it home with you!<br />
<br />
How is this possible you may ask? Well, there's many different styles of interior decorations available that can match a similar design to a French chateau. You can go with a modern or traditional look to an antique style and everything in-between. You'll at some point realize though that there's something authentic missing. It may be a space that seems too open or a corner that needs to be filled. Sometimes you can't quite put your finger on it.<br />
<br />
Genuine French Wine Crates may be the answer. They have the beautiful Bordeaux designs your looking for, and the vintage-style wood that will accent a space like nothing else. They've been Imported from France to protect fine wine and to give your home an elegant touch.<br />
<br />
Original wine crates and boxes are stackable to fit in corners, they're not too large or too small and . everyday you'll remember France as you look at the logos of the world's oldest and most revered vineyards. Your fond memories of that Parisian vacation will come alive as you share a bottle and some laughs with a close friend and reminisce. The essence of your home is accented with age-old pieces of history throughout. Your close friend is just a little envious and quietly wonders how you got these beautiful crates back from France. The perfect look of your home is now complete.<br />
<br />

Did you want to find out more about it or learn what kind of history it has? I certainly have and it's not always easy to do!<br />
<br />
There are several thousand wineries in the world and only a small fraction of them make wooden wine crates. Fortunately this guide also applies to wines packaged in cardboard.<br />
<br />
Some wine crates and boxes have many details on the vineyard, grape type and producer, but some only have a unique picture logo and a small amount of lettering. The rest is a mystery.<br />
<br />
I can show you how to determine where most labels are from with certainty, but there'll be a few that you'll come across that may stump or trick you.<br />
<br />
<b>First the easiest and by far my favorite wine making country: France. Specifically Bordeaux:</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2ujyGtAK1f8/VlUpIF0nlpI/AAAAAAAAanw/JifoiDt9iCM/s1600/Chateau%2BHaut%2BBages%2BLiberal%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCrate%2BDetails.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="427" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2ujyGtAK1f8/VlUpIF0nlpI/AAAAAAAAanw/JifoiDt9iCM/s640/Chateau%2BHaut%2BBages%2BLiberal%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCrate%2BDetails.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Determining that a wine crate is from Bordeaux is the easiest thing to do once you know what to look for. Almost all have the designation (Grand Cru or Cru Bourgeois - Grand Cru being the best) the name of the winery and the vintage.<br />
<br />
<b>Here's another example:</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cbzZHfXhUeQ/VlU3tBJ8HhI/AAAAAAAAaog/aTwhJ4RHaOI/s1600/Chateau%2BDauzac%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCrate%2Bwith%2BDetails.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="560" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cbzZHfXhUeQ/VlU3tBJ8HhI/AAAAAAAAaog/aTwhJ4RHaOI/s640/Chateau%2BDauzac%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCrate%2Bwith%2BDetails.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The one detail missing from the Haut-Bages Liberal crate is the part of Bordeaux in which the wine is from or the "Sub-region" which is shown above on the Dauzac crate (Margaux)<br />
<br />
Most Bordeaux wine crates detail the following characteristics from top to bottom based on level of importance:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Designation or Classification</b></li>
<li><b>The Winery</b></li>
<li><b>Sub-region</b></li>
<li><b>Vintage</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
Lastly, odds are that if the crate is designed to hold 12 bottles it's most likely from Bordeaux.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
And that's the Bordeaux region in a nutshell. Since Bordeaux follows a set of rules called the AOC (Appellation Origine Controlee) you'll find a great deal of consistency from winery to winery.<br />
<br />
Burgundy on the other hand is a more complex wine making region in France. The AOC of Burgundian vineyards isn't as strict in regards to conformity of branding therefore there's more of an artistic license given to the vineyards. Ironically Burgundy maintains a much more of an old world pretense where that freedom of artistic license is far more subtle.<br />
<br />
There aren't nearly as many wineries from Burgundy that make wine crates. Bordeaux is by far the leader in that department.<br />
<br />
<b>Most Burgundy vineyards make 6 bottle wine boxes. Some make the 12 bottle size:</b><br />
<br />
The Classification of vineyards is the most important here, and those classifications are based heavily on the sub-region aka Commune as well as the single vineyard(s) that the grapes were chosen from. There are essentially 3 types of fine Burgundy wine classifications:<br />
<br />
<b>Grand Cru or 1er (The best)</b><br />
<b>Premier Cru (Second best)</b><br />
<b>Bourgogne (Third best)</b><br />
<br />
I don't want to get too much into classifications because there's enough on that subject to write a book. We're talking only about wine labels so let's get into Burgundy:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WzStJAC5ZH4/VlVAkQ0LP_I/AAAAAAAAao4/zWNFbhE0SBo/s1600/Olivier%2BLe%2BFlaive%2B6%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BBox.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="482" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WzStJAC5ZH4/VlVAkQ0LP_I/AAAAAAAAao4/zWNFbhE0SBo/s640/Olivier%2BLe%2BFlaive%2B6%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BBox.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
You can generally assume a French crate is from Burgundy if you see Domaine on it. You'll never see Chateau. You can also assume the vineyard is either Premier or Grand Cru and it's exceptional.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nMGkgy1XYLY/VldAqDeTRFI/AAAAAAAAasM/dg8LY1HAC7E/s1600/Domaine%2BHenri%2BBoillot%2B12%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCrate.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="304" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nMGkgy1XYLY/VldAqDeTRFI/AAAAAAAAasM/dg8LY1HAC7E/s640/Domaine%2BHenri%2BBoillot%2B12%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCrate.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
For the most part:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Domaine = Burgundy</b></li>
<li><b>Chateau = Bordeaux</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
Also, If you see the producer's first and last name the odds are that the crate is from Burgundy. All Burgundy wines are either made from Chardonnay (Whites) or Pinot Noir (Reds) grapes. If you see Chablis on a crate it's definitely from Burgundy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Next up is the most complex wine making country in the World: Italy</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There's 22 major wine making regions in Italy and over 100 sub regions inside those major regions. Each one has a fairly similar primary culture but each has a very different sub-culture from the others. These differences make mastering Italian wines a life-long endevour.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In this case we'll just take a few Italian wooden wine boxes and reasonably explain how you can determine whether or not its from Italy:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KCNgTh_W618/VldJU0YzlxI/AAAAAAAAas8/zbgD_lFNTZs/s1600/Solaia%2B6%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BBox.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="486" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KCNgTh_W618/VldJU0YzlxI/AAAAAAAAas8/zbgD_lFNTZs/s640/Solaia%2B6%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BBox.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some Italian wine crates have very little evidence they're from Italy. You can get tricked into believing it's possibly from Spain except for a few subtle exceptions:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>European Cote of Arms designs are only found in old world regions (France, Italy and Portugal)</li>
<li>Marchesi Antinori is one of the most famous Italian wine makers</li>
<li>Solaia is one of the most famous Italian wines</li>
</ul>
<div>
Super-Tuscan wines of Italy are a fairly new phenomena, and the most famous ones make wooden wine crates and boxes to store and protect their wines. Super-Tuscan vineyards take Bordeaux grape vines and plant them in rich Italian soil, and they keep certain Bordeaux traditions such as making large 12 bottle wine crates and adding a vintage to them (Many Italian vineyards don't display the vintage on their wine crates). Below is the famous Sassicaia Super-Tuscan:</div>

"Italia" on the bottom left is a dead give-away this crate is from Italy, and the vintage indicates Super-Tuscan. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The vast majority of Italian wine crates don't have Italia engraved on them though, but some wineries display a great deal of information like the Castel Giocondo:</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Clearly the Castel Giocondo is from Italy based on the following:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Riserva = Italian (Reserve = US and Reserva = Spain)</li>
<li>Frescobaldi is a famous noble family from Tuscany</li>
<li>Brunello Di Montalcino is a famous major wine region of Italy</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Now we'll get into Napa:</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most US domestic wineries put alot of details on their wine crates. Since there's no rules for conformity in the US such as the AOC, Napa vineyards are free to do whatever they want in regards to standing out and branding themselves.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There's alot of information on the Harlan Estate "The Maiden" flat wooden wine case. No problem on quickly identifying.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another one:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zBGTcqTkhgU/VldWQ3PqiXI/AAAAAAAAauE/IcK1cbbTnlY/s1600/Nickel%2Band%2BNickel%2B6%2BBottle%2BFlip%2BTop%2BWine%2BBox.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zBGTcqTkhgU/VldWQ3PqiXI/AAAAAAAAauE/IcK1cbbTnlY/s640/Nickel%2Band%2BNickel%2B6%2BBottle%2BFlip%2BTop%2BWine%2BBox.png" width="618" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Nickel and Nickel also provides alot of winery details, and also even provides the grape type (Cabernet Sauvignon). My favorite aspect of the winery is that they use the special single vineyard style of Burgundy and the grape vines of Bordeaux for planting in Napa Valley. This is why Nickel and Nickel is so famous. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last on the Napa list is the most prominent wine of all of Napa: Screaming Eagle</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-63hYLr21HZM/VldXljF0iWI/AAAAAAAAauM/-x90idzMPAw/s1600/Screaming%2BEagle%2B3%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCase.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="526" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-63hYLr21HZM/VldXljF0iWI/AAAAAAAAauM/-x90idzMPAw/s640/Screaming%2BEagle%2B3%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCase.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some Screaming Eagle crates have details on them and some don't. If you get into fine domestic wines, your going to hear about Screaming Eagle very quickly. This is probably why Screaming Eagle doesn't provide many identifying details. Every US domestic wine enthusiast is familiar with it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>So we've gone through France, Italy and Napa. Up next is the Spain:</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>S</b>pain is often confused with Italy and vice-versa if your not familiar. This is especially the case if your wine enjoyment focus is primarily US domestic, and are unfamiliar with the nuances of the Mediterranean wine world.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Spanish vineyards are usually confused with Italian vineyards because there's so few details on them:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxb8I_mBYIh8fJbbEvM5Z95x49o9EuOqT00C94y1FmCMpqnBP21h_B6Q7kCnVQkwlkEUL4Q3Cxkq8Y_iV-Tms5X0wA4_si2w5GAHqCPr-Hq9XnmMN1C0g4iRntCjDwromRPGdhnyzAHLM/s1600/La+Nieta+6+Bottle+Wooden+Wine+Box.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxb8I_mBYIh8fJbbEvM5Z95x49o9EuOqT00C94y1FmCMpqnBP21h_B6Q7kCnVQkwlkEUL4Q3Cxkq8Y_iV-Tms5X0wA4_si2w5GAHqCPr-Hq9XnmMN1C0g4iRntCjDwromRPGdhnyzAHLM/s640/La+Nieta+6+Bottle+Wooden+Wine+Box.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
There are 2 subtle indications that this is a Spanish vineyards:<br />
<ul>
<li>La Nieta is a specific dialect of the Spanish language that can only be found in Spain</li>
<li>The Spanish style architecture. </li>
</ul>
<div>
Here's another:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5wTlhmnCzTw/VldcmuCp4UI/AAAAAAAAauo/gWB9MvHyWw8/s1600/Numanthia%2B6%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BBox.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="418" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5wTlhmnCzTw/VldcmuCp4UI/AAAAAAAAauo/gWB9MvHyWw8/s640/Numanthia%2B6%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BBox.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Same situation on the Spanish architecture, but the name indicates a possible Italian vineyard (but not really). Names of Italian wines are usually more elegant and elaborate. A one word name tends to be more modern and indicative of the New World.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is a difficult Spanish vineyard to determine:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n8jM_4Jyi4Y/VlddbMm3goI/AAAAAAAAauw/x47eYI8-hP4/s1600/Prado%2BEnea%2B12%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCrate.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n8jM_4Jyi4Y/VlddbMm3goI/AAAAAAAAauw/x47eYI8-hP4/s640/Prado%2BEnea%2B12%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCrate.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Remember the "Riserva" on the Castel Giocondo? Here's where that comes into play. Take a look at the fanciful text lettering below the Prado Enea and you'll notice "Gran Reserva". This is clearly a Spanish winery. Riserva = Italy and Reserva = Spain.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another tricky Spanish vineyard:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g-DSZ4Jw0R8/VldtLidl07I/AAAAAAAAavo/LD_5cxsBr10/s1600/Bodegas%2BVega%2BSicilia%2B3%2BBottle%2BFlat%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCase.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g-DSZ4Jw0R8/VldtLidl07I/AAAAAAAAavo/LD_5cxsBr10/s640/Bodegas%2BVega%2BSicilia%2B3%2BBottle%2BFlat%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCase.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another point on regional dialects of the Spanish language: Bodegas = Spain and Bodega = South America</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Lastly we explore South America, Portugal and Australia:</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
You'll generally find alot of details and indicators from vineyards in these countries. This Almaviva is a good example:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OL2lS4O2vkU/VldpvNhALfI/AAAAAAAAavI/Jr634DSOngQ/s1600/Almaviva%2B6%2BBottle%2BFlat%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCase%2Bwith%2BDetails.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="362" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OL2lS4O2vkU/VldpvNhALfI/AAAAAAAAavI/Jr634DSOngQ/s640/Almaviva%2B6%2BBottle%2BFlat%2BWooden%2BWine%2BCase%2Bwith%2BDetails.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Clearly from Chile and includes all the details you need plus the vintage. It's made by Baron Phillippe Rothschild so you know it's going to be both good and pricey. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p_lcMiKvcnY/VldsZ3GhwPI/AAAAAAAAavU/P3W5Q9DMwOU/s1600/Baron%2BRothschild%2BLe%2BDix%2BWooden%2BWine%2BBox.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p_lcMiKvcnY/VldsZ3GhwPI/AAAAAAAAavU/P3W5Q9DMwOU/s640/Baron%2BRothschild%2BLe%2BDix%2BWooden%2BWine%2BBox.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's another Baron Rothschild vineyard and it's also from Chile. Has lots of details too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There aren't many South American vineyards and fortunately they're easy to detect. One of the most famous from Argentina is below:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZuhXKFzflig/Vldt915d_0I/AAAAAAAAavw/vMqfT1cDFgU/s1600/Achval%2BFerrer%2B6%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BBox.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="432" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZuhXKFzflig/Vldt915d_0I/AAAAAAAAavw/vMqfT1cDFgU/s640/Achval%2BFerrer%2B6%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BBox.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fortunately the Achval Ferrer details that it's from Argentina on the bottom right hand side. Not all Argentinian crates or boxes have this detail though, so the "Bodega" dialect aspect will at least allow you to narrow down a region if needed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This sums up the two most well known South American wine making countries which are Chile and Argentina. I don't mean to count out the other South American countries that make wine, but none that I know make wooden wine crates or boxes to package their wines.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Australia is next on deck and you can easily confuse them with US domestic or Napa wineries </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've confused Australian and US domestic wine crates many times. Both have similar styles such as thick wood sides and lettering in English. Australian vineyards however tend to focus more heavily on either the region of Australia they come from, or the name of the vineyard itself. Most domestics display "Napa Valley" or the sub-region (city) that it's from in fairly small text. Australian vineyards on the other hand display those details boldly similar to how the wines themselves are: Also, the most famous grape from Australia is Shiraz.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n876XzUqc9g/Vld9zv0NxqI/AAAAAAAAawM/09wuwIO-pns/s1600/Elderton%2B6%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BBox.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="530" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n876XzUqc9g/Vld9zv0NxqI/AAAAAAAAawM/09wuwIO-pns/s640/Elderton%2B6%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BBox.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another Australian indicator is the fact that the country's wineries don't ever seem to make large 12 bottle wine crates. Most are either medium-sized 6 bottle wine boxes or 6 bottle flat wine cases like below:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hIwSLlYJoF8/Vld_MvOdajI/AAAAAAAAawU/-8rHsTu4stA/s1600/Astralis%2B6%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BFlat%2BCase.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hIwSLlYJoF8/Vld_MvOdajI/AAAAAAAAawU/-8rHsTu4stA/s640/Astralis%2B6%2BBottle%2BWooden%2BWine%2BFlat%2BCase.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Barossa and Clarendon Hills are two of the most well-known and recognized Australian wine making regions.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last but not least we present Portugal which are by far the easiest wine boxes and crates to recognize. They all say Port on them! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Portugal is considered an old world wine country but it has an entirely different culture than any other European country. The only similarity that traditional wine has with Port is that they're both made from grapes. Port however elegantly fortifies with Brandy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In this example we have a very famous Port from Taylor Fladgate that got very high scores from Wine Spectator. The name of this wine is Vargellas Vinha Velha, but it's from the Quinta De Vargellas portfolio. This is another way that Port marches to the beat of it's own drummer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n-xet1-cW7o/VlfQyrkH6dI/AAAAAAAAaxA/eoJ50f5oguk/s1600/Taylor%2BFladgate%2B3%2BBottle%2BFlat%2BWood%2BWine%2BCase.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="616" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n-xet1-cW7o/VlfQyrkH6dI/AAAAAAAAaxA/eoJ50f5oguk/s640/Taylor%2BFladgate%2B3%2BBottle%2BFlat%2BWood%2BWine%2BCase.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wood from Portugal is distinctive in the sense that it's typically more dense and rich colored than most other European wine crates. It tends to last long and age slowly. We had a Port crate from the late 1800's and it was in surprisingly good shape.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Do you have a wine crate or you can't identify? Feel free to send me a picture and I'll try to help</div>

The most common question we get is: "How many wine panels do I need to cover my Wall?"<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't find math to be very engaging literature but there's no way around it..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here's our wine panel sizing formula using an example of this framed wine panel wall sectional shown in the picture below:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DyiGHX2ZzOM/Vkvj4u4lQ0I/AAAAAAAAad8/XFm6vWK6hO4/s1600/Framed%2BWine%2BCrate%2BPanel%2BArtwork.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DyiGHX2ZzOM/Vkvj4u4lQ0I/AAAAAAAAad8/XFm6vWK6hO4/s400/Framed%2BWine%2BCrate%2BPanel%2BArtwork.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Take a tape measure from left to right. This will give you the length which is <b>60 inches</b>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Now measure from top to bottom. This gives you the height which is <b>48 inches</b>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. 60 inches = <b>5 feet</b> (60 / 12)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. 48 inches = <b>4 feet</b> (48 / 12)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. Multiply 5 X 4 = <b>20 square feet</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6. The framed wall sectional is <b>20</b> square feet. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
7. On average <b>2</b> wine panels covers approx. a square foot.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
8. <b>20 X 2</b> = <b>40</b> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
9. Approx. 40 panels were needed to cover this sectional. It happens to only have 37 panels because the top panels on it were longer than the others. Not all wine panels are the same size so we have to approximate.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most surfaces may not be as easy to cover as the framed sectional which is a fairly straightforward DIY. A wall on the other hand may have a door, window, fixture or division like the picture below:</div>
<div>

In this case the sizing formula remains the same, but you'll need to measure each section of the space individually. You may need to trim some of the panels to fit making this kind of project more complex, and it may require a contractor or designer. Fortunately wine panels projects are often quick jobs for professionals.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The great thing about wine panel decorations is they make for incredibly unique projects. There are hundreds of different wineries with different designs and wood grain colors. They're also limited pieces of classical artwork with history dating back a millennia. Your wine panel covering is guaranteed to be exclusive. Your guests will be fascinated and engaged.</div>

These kinds of special wine-themed pieces are usually add-ons to current work being done, but a surprising number of people are contracting professionals specifically for the purpose of wine crate/wine panel decorative enhancements. These kinds of ideas are perfect for architects and woodworkers as well.<br />
<br />
Over the years Winepine has provided the wine crates and panels for a stunning array of wine-themed shelving, tables and decoration pieces. Today I give you 6 of my favorite wine crate furniture ideas that were professionally created, and in which the wine crates or wine panels came from us. We don't have the plans for these projects but hopefully they'll drum up some creative juice for your own unique wine crate creation!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "trebuchet" , "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"><span style="font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Hillside Select is the premier wine of the Schafer vineyard portfolio. Just about every vintage wins awards, receives high accolades and averages 95 points. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "trebuchet" , "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">There's a fairly large production on this single vineyard, but vintages are held back for four years. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "trebuchet" , "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "trebuchet" , "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">It's possible to buy single bottles of Hillside Select in the open market, but it's unlikely that the original wooden wine case would be included if you bought 6 bottles. This is due to the fact that when a vintage is released it comes complete with the case. Individual bottles for sale at the moment are often the result of cellar liquidations or private buys of incomplete collections. In order to get your hands on an original wine case it will most likely need to be purchased separately from the wine.</span></span></span><br />

The majority of large original wine crates from Bordeaux are branded with the picture design on the front short side:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rJkW6R2iK0Y/VjJDF79zaeI/AAAAAAAAaPw/MNpoKHOrSI0/s1600/Haut-Bergey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rJkW6R2iK0Y/VjJDF79zaeI/AAAAAAAAaPw/MNpoKHOrSI0/s320/Haut-Bergey.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A long-side branded crate has the picture design on the long side of the crate:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qArCInMDAgc/VjJDw1DGg2I/AAAAAAAAaP8/iInG4TN_VKU/s1600/Long%2BSide%2BBranded%2BCrate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qArCInMDAgc/VjJDw1DGg2I/AAAAAAAAaP8/iInG4TN_VKU/s400/Long%2BSide%2BBranded%2BCrate.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The long side branded crate style is rare, and most of these crates are not from Bordeaux. Since Bordeaux follows a set of wine laws called the Appellation d'origine Controlee (AOC). All Bordeaux wine makers classed as 2nd - 5th Growths or Grand Cru have to follow the AOC, which governs grape and barrel types, processing and bottle sizes. This governing body is tasked with maintaining the rigid Bordeaux culture, brand and history. That means your going to see a good deal of similarities among Bordeaux wine crates such as a uniform size of crate and a specific place where the logo goes which is the front short side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a Burgundy AOC and a similar rule structure in Italy (Mostly pertaining to the Chianti region). These rules and classifications are a way to maintain the old world standard of wine. Burgundy and Italy's rules aren't as rigid as Bordeaux's when it comes to bottle sizes and the look of their wine crates so they can be more creative. For instance, Italian vineyards primarily make 6 bottle medium wine boxes. I've seen 8 different Italian vineyards that made large 12 bottle wine crates. All of those large 12 bottle crates from Italy were branded with the vineyard's logo and design on all four sides. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the case of Bordeaux which makes primarily 12 bottle large crates I've seen only 5 long-side branded crates from un-designated vineyards. Your most likely to see long-side branded large crates from the French regions of Burgundy, Graves and Sauternes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd estimate that there are 30 different vineyards from anywhere in the world that make large long-side branded 12 bottle wine crates. This presents a bit of a problem for people that have wine cellars with shelving that require long-side branded crates:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a great picture above, but only 1 of the long-side branded crates are from Bordeaux! The rest are from Italy, Australia, Chile and Spain. Below is a wine rack for wooden wine crates with brandings on the front short side:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's clear that there's alot more front side branded crates than long-side. All of the crates above are from the Bordeaux region and are nearly identical in size. This makes wine crate shelving projects alot smoother when your working with front side rather than long-side crates.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nevertheless, long-side branded crates are unique and interesting. They're one of the most requested styles due to the fact that they cover a wide area, and often have remarkably ornate artwork on them</div>

One of the more poplar wine crate ideas is to stain them to appear distressed. It's shocking to see how well this idea compliments a modern home decor!<br />
<br />
Imagine walking into your foyer to see a rustic style wine crate sitting next to your front door. There's a floral display inside of it, and your immediately captured by a nostalgic feel. Your brought back in time to the days of few distractions; where there weren't smart phones, e-mail or texts. Time went by a little slower, and you had a moment to look around and appreciate the look of your home. <br />
<br />
This is the theme of the shabby-chic style and you can get that look for yourself. One way is to distress your original wooden wine crates. The most popular stain for DIY crate distressing is Walnut. The key is to make sure the crate is prepared for finish by sanding it first (We do this for you at Winepine). The next step is to lightly spread the finish onto the crate in a random fashion. You want an unusual pattern because wood naturally distresses in this way. Make sure to take appropriate precautions while staining, as fumes from some finishes are very strong.<br />
<br />
There are other ways to achieve a shabby-chic vintage look with wine crates, and 8 of my favorite are below:<br />

The urban industrial side table is a client favorite as well as my own. We sanded the wine boxes for this project, but they weren't finished or distressed. The table itself came out beautifully vintage with a modern accent on it's own. The wine boxes in that picture are medium sized made to hold 6 wine bottles. </div>

<u><b>Bouchard Pere & Fils</b></u></div>
<br />
Without a doubt, the Bouchard Pere & Fils is my favorite wooden wine crate from Burgundy. It's not just my favorite, as the crate is often requested by our clients.<br />
<br />
It's no secret that most wine enthusiasts love Burgundy wines. There's an old saying in the US wine industry that you start in California and end in Burgundy. Napa Valley has been relentlessly trying to change this, and to some extent they have, but if your a lover of the old world wine ways than the saying will remain eternal.<br />
<br />
The problem with most original Burgundian wine boxes and crates is that they aren't generally ideal for home or cellar decorations; unless all of your friends are equally as savvy a wine enthusiast. The majority have only writing on them with simple designs at best. Their labels are elegant but modest. Very much like their wines. That's all well and good, but personally I love an eye-catching design. <br />
<br />
In comes Bouchard Pere & Fils. It's quite possibly the most highly detailed wine crate in all of France. On top of that it's large for 12 bottles, has an intricately engraved picture on the long side, and has a slide-top lid. For a Burgundy wine crate It's a genuine anomaly.<br />

<br />
<u><b>Country:</b></u> France<br />
<br />
<u><b>Region:</b></u> Burgundy<br />
<br />
<u><b>Sub-Region:</b></u> Beaune-Graves<br />
<br />
<u><b>Established:</b></u> 1731<br />
<br />
<u><b>Production:</b></u> Produces a variety of Grand Cru and Premier Cru in tiny single vineyards<br />
<br />
<u><b>Grape:</b></u> Makes both Pinot Noir red and Chardonnay whites<br />
<br />
<u><b>Crate design:</b></u> Highly detailed and intricately engraved picture of the estate and castle on the large long side.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Rarity:</b></u> Very. Due to minuscule productions on small single plots, there's only a handful of these special Grand Cru wine crates released every year.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Crate designation:</b></u> Exclusive ($75.00)<br />
<br />
<u><b>Our opinion/history:</b></u> One of Burgundy's highest respected and most ancient vineyard/wine merchant. The Beaune region was founded by Julius Caesar, and supposedly the Bouchard property was producing wines for Joan of Arc's army.<br />

They offer a variety of different pine wood styles that are harvested from different regions all over this ancient, world-renowned wine making country. Most Bordeaux crates for instance only make use of one type of pine.<br />
<br />
The greatest catalyst of the modern wine box from Italy is the Super-Tuscan variety. Prior to the advent of the Super-Tuscan, most Italian wine boxes were more vintage and rustic. Nowadays they have a newer, more modern look probably due to the non-Super Tuscan wineries' need to compete. The Super Tuscans have changed the landscape of Chianti dramatically. During the middle of the 20th century the Chianti region was producing simple table wines. That same region now is making treasured vintages for investment or for exquisite personal consumption. The 21st century wooden wine box from Italy has followed suit and doesn't seem to be looking back.<br />
<br />
Most wooden wine boxes from Italy are medium sized (holds six 750ML bottles). There are many different pine woods that are used in the making of them depending on the type of pine on the vineyard's property. Some of these boxes have rich and dark wood colors while others are ultra-white (and everything in-between). Many are heavy and others weigh very little, but all have lots of character.<br />
<br />
When we started Winepine we were able to source and acquire lots of Italian wine crates almost on demand. Times have changed quite a bit since then. Now we're lucky if a few dozen come in once a month and they sell out quickly. I believe this has to do with how much Italian wine is being bought up by investors and held in the box for future sale at auction (You get a higher profit if the wine is complete in the original wine box).<br />
<br />
I started wondering why I was writing this piece because most online shop keepers discuss products they can actually sell. Currently I'm unable to sell any Italian wine boxes to anyone because we're all sold out. We've been getting many requests for them lately and it makes me miss the days of a full inventory...<br />
<br />
So here's 9 of my favorite ones from the days of old. They're characterized based on detail and uniqueness, not necessarily on quality of wine or price per bottle:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: red;">Oreno (Super-Tuscan)</span> - Branded on all four sides and lid. The wood grain color is light, and the small design is of an old-world style Roman Pillar.</b><br />
<br />

<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: red;"><u>Pieve Santa Restituta</u></span> - Also branded on all four sides and lid. The design of the vineyard isn't highly detailed, but the crate sides and lid is beveled with grooves all around. One-of-a-kind unique</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>7. <span style="color: red;">Sassicaia (Super Tuscan)</span> - Possibly the most sought-after Super-Tuscan winery, but the four sides of the crate are embossed with the simple and elegant Sassicaia lettering. The lid is engraved with the iconic star logo. The sides are dovetailed.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>

<b>2. <span style="color: red;"><u>Ornellaia (Super Tuscan)</u></span> - Ornellaia is my favorite Super Tuscan and I don't quite know why. The box doesn't have a particularly high detail design, the wood grain color is medium and it's not especially unique. It may be that the little picture in the center of the logo seems to take me to the vineyard for a moment. That little picture is of the winery and vineyard with a mountain backdrop. If your dreaming of a place to visit, I don't think you'd go wrong with the Ornellaia vineyard. It's on my bucket list..</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. <span style="color: red;"><u>Solaia</u></span> - I realize that we're not ranking wine boxes based on quality of wine or price per bottle, but there's no denying that Solaia is questionably the best winery of Italy. Some say it's the "First Growth of Tuscany". The lid, front and back sides are branded with the small but highly detailed cote of arms logo of the Solaia vineyard</b><br />

So there's my 9 favorite. There aren't alot of Italian vineyards that make wooden wine boxes (Perhaps a few dozen more) as winemakers are also businessmen. The cost to make one would have to justify the price of the bottles inside, so there's a whole lot of wine being packaged in cardboard rather than wood. These are really pieces of art and history. There's nothing quite like an Italian wine box.<br />

The answer to this question is usually France because the majority come from here.<br />
<br />
French vineyards make the most OWC's by far. Depending on the region of France you'll get a few different sizes. Bordeaux for instance is the world leader of large wine crates that hold 12 bottles of wine, but Burgundy and Rhone make the most wine boxes that hold 6 bottles. French wineries have an old world look and style.<br />
<br />
Italian vineyards come in second as far as the amount of vineyards that make them. Italy is also from the old world. Your going to see mostly 6 bottle wine boxes from here.<br />
<br />
Every other country is from the new world. My personal new world favorite is Napa Valley. No other place produces wine boxes with such high detail and intricate designs.<br />
<br />
Below is a breakdown of the types of crates you'll typically find within these countries and their respective regions:<br />

<b><i>Italy comes in second as the country that produces the most amount of wine boxes and crates</i></b>. For the sake of simplicity we won't get too deep into regions and sub-regions of Italy, because it requires a degree to get a handle on that topic! The most popular regions of Italian wine crates are Barolo, Tuscany and Campania (North, Central and South). Most wine boxes from Italy come from Tuscany (Super Tuscan and Montalcino). There's only a few vineyards from Campania that make them. Just about every one is either a medium 6 bottle or a single.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>You would think that the largest wine making region in the US would be higher up on the list but this isn't the case</i>. Napa vineyards make some of the most beautiful crates in the world, but only the most top-shelf vintages get these special wine boxes. On top of this, these high end production futures are bought up quickly by investors way before the wine actually comes out (Sometimes even before the grapes come off the vines). This mix of tiny production futures and investor enthusiasm make wine crates from Napa exceptionally rare.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So this about sums up where the majority of OWC's come from. There are a few exceptions to this list such as Italian & Napa large 12 bottle crates (I believe there is 2-3 vineyards a piece on those). I didn't add Champagne in this list because box designs in the region change frequently. There are also other other states in the US that make crates such as Washington and Oregon but few if any arrive to us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<b><u>The 10 Best Wine Box & Crate Panel Wall Treatments</u></b><br />
<br />
Almost every wooden wine crate or box has a side on it that's branded with the logo of the winery that made it. There are many different wineries that make wine crates, and many of these logo designs have been used by the vineyard for thousands of years, or have been inspired by ancient European artwork. Some of these vineyards have been making wine before the Roman Empire!<br />
<br />
The pictures below are walls that have been covered with dozens, if not hundreds of the branded sides. What we do is remove the branded side of the crate and it becomes a panel similar to a wood tile. They are grouped together to cover the wall entirely.<br />
<br />
This decoration type is often called Vintage-style, Shabby-Chic, Eclectic or Rustic Personally I feel that a wine panel wall is nostalgic because it gives the viewer a momentary glimpse into a time where things were more elegant and simple. It's a natural mood enhancer that guarantees a good conversation. Every wine panel project is completely unique, and everyone's take on the design is different.<br />
<br />

<b><span style="color: red;"><u>Wine Lover's Artwork</u></span></b> - This project took our client 2 years to complete. We worked with him for those 2 years acquiring every single panel he was looking for, and he was very specific on vintages and wineries. The corks also match every panel on the wall! Suffice it to say I was delighted when it was finally done...</div>

Alot of clients ask us how to put the wine panels on the wall. We generally recommend Liquid Nails in a can for the adhesive. If you take the liquid nails and place it on a notched trawl you can spread the liquid nails evenly across the back of each panel. Laying wine panels is similar to laying tile but it's a little easier. Most contractors find this to be a fairly easy job so if you hire a professional it's usually not that expensive.</div>

<u><b>Top 8 Wooden Wine Boxes from Burgundy</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b><br /></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>It's no secret that Burgundy produces some of the world's finest wines. What is a secret is how few wooden wine boxes the region's vineyards make! It's in stark contrast to the amount of Bordeaux vineyards that make hundreds of them. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Wooden wine boxes and crates from this region are simple yet elegant. None of them have ornate designs or pictures, and they remain gracefully in the old world. This has been the case for a thousand years, and I'm guessing it won't change for a thousand more. That's the special thing about Burgundy. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I remain a loyal enthusiast of Burgundy wines. You can count on quality anywhere within that tiny part of France. It's extremely difficult to craft a comparable Pinot Noir anywhere else.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Admittedly, I have mixed feelings about the actual wine boxes from Burgundy though. I enjoy a nice and eye-catching Bordeaux design because it takes you back in time for a moment. The same thing applies to fancy Napa wine box artwork because it has more of a modern appeal. Burgundy on the other hand has very little artwork or designs on most of their crates. Perhaps the crates mirror the timeless quality of the wines. and if that's the case I'm ok with it never changing..</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>A couple of points about Burgundy wine boxes and crates:</u></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Burgundy wine crates are typically larger than most other wine making regions</b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>The AOC of Burgundy doesn't regulate bottle sizes like the Bordeaux AOC. This could be the reason why there's so few of them.</b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>You can tell a wooden wine box is from Burgundy when you see Domaine (90% of the time). It's from Bordeaux when it says Chateau (99% of the time). </b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Most Burgundy wine producers display the winemaker's name on the box as opposed to the name of the vineyard like you'd find with Bordeaux. The second most important characteristic branded on a Burgundy crate is the region in which the winery is from, and lastly the single vineyard of where the grapes were planted. The region developed an ancient tradition long ago that is often copied by wine makers in other countries.</b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>The list below is probably 20% of all Burgundy vineyards that make wooden wine boxes & crates:</b></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>8. Vincent Girardin</b><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In true Burgundy fashion, the Vincent Girardin crate has simple winery lettering. What a spectacular wine though.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Domaine d'Eugenie</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span id="goog_538525577"></span>Same simple design applies to Domaine d' Eugenie. The elegant lettering makes it quite pleasant though.<br />
<br />
<b>6. William Fevre</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IOv_o44WBio/VeYVi1zOEUI/AAAAAAAAZLA/7Lo6YouM5QA/s1600/William%2BFevre%2B6%2BBottle%2BWine%2BBox.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="194" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IOv_o44WBio/VeYVi1zOEUI/AAAAAAAAZLA/7Lo6YouM5QA/s320/William%2BFevre%2B6%2BBottle%2BWine%2BBox.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the more well-known Burgundy wineries of Grand Cru Chablis. The lid is slide-top style and has the William Fevre design and lettering on the front and back sides.<br />

Here's a Burgundy wooden wine box with a small yet fairly ornate design of the vineyard's chalice<br />
<br />
<b>4. Domaine Henri Boillot</b><br />

<br />
<br />
A legendary Grand Cru producer who happens to be one of four Burgundy winemakers that I know of who produces a wooden wine crate that holds 12 bottles. Most Burgundies only make wooden wine boxes to hold 6 bottles. As you can imagine, this is a difficult crate to acquire.<br />

Nice wooden wine box with an ornate engraved picture of the winery's cote of arms. It's fancy, realistic and eye-catching rolled into one.<br />

<br />
My favorite Burgundy wooden wine box due to it's intricate red-colored picture of the vineyard. This crate is an exception to the Burgundy rule because of it's highly detailed design. The vineyard also produces a 12 bottle crate with a lid branding! It happens to be a completely different design than the one above, but it still red and still looks great.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Domaine Romanee Conti (DRC)</b><br />

<br />
How can you make a list like this and not include the finest and most expensive wine on earth? Coming easily in at the #1 spot, this is the crown jewel of Burgundy. A nice front long-side design to boot!<br />

<strong style="background-color: white;"><b><u>Chateau Ausone</u></b></strong></div>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"><br /></strong>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">My original goal when I started writing was to complete the profiles on all the wine crates from every vineyard that ever made them. A difficult task I'll admit, but my direction on that changed over the years. I found most people were interested more in what can be done with wine crates as opposed to the history behind them. I think that's changing though..</strong><br />
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"><br /></strong>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">What got me thinking that I should do profiles again was several clients called me today looking for specific wine crates for their cellars. One in particular told me that he found the history of wine crates so interesting, and he was looking for a Chateau Ausone crate or box. Well, unfortunately Ausone is an extremely rare crate because they have a tiny production that are bought up quickly when released. Investors put down virtually every Ausone for 20 or so years until they're peaked for auction (or personal consumption). Once that happens we sometimes end up with only a few every year.</strong><br />
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"><br /></strong>

It's a fascinating winery with deep historical value. It happens to be only one of only four vineyards classified as Premier Grand Cru "A". This level is one step below First Growth,</strong><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Patrick - </b><br />
<b><a href="http://www.winepine.com/">www.winepine.com</a></b><br />
<br />
I'll admit that I both read and listen alot. I'm <u><b>always</b></u> looking for new content ideas when it comes to wine boxes and crates. That being said, I'm in the middle of the latest marketing book I've purchased, and upon reading one of the pages it occurred to me to create this post.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I was at one of our storage areas where we keep some of our excess crates. I do alot of manual labor work with the team to get myself out of the office and to keep myself active. I frequently questioned my time management skills in the past and often asked myself if I'm making the most of my time. I was happy to realize that the business investor Marcus Lemonis shares a good deal of his team's physical work from watching his show The Profit. Now I try not to think about the value of my time in terms of what I <b>should</b> be doing, but instead I try to focus on getting whatever I'm doing at the moment done right now.<br />
<br />
Work in progress..<br />
<br />
Anyway, back at the storage area, I was pulling out crates from our unit when one of our storage neighbors asked me: "What do you do with those wine crates?" I responded that we refurbish them, and she quickly came back with "Do you make wine crate furniture?" I said no, but we do have some partnerships with companies that do. She asked what the name of our company was and I told her Winepine. She ended the conversation with "Ill be in touch".<br />
<br />
That brief chat stuck in my mind throughout the long day, but I forgot about it right before crashing into my bed from exhaustion. I worked a solid 16 hour day and was ready for rest.<br />
<br />
I awoke the next morning fairly sore, but dragged myself to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. As I looked out the window I had a keen desire to write something meaningful. So with a sip of coffee and a mission I set out to generate some great content. I was still a little blank on what I wanted to write about so I picked up that recently purchased marketing book. I had researched the book well before moving forward on it, as I've bought many marketing and e-commerce books in the past that did me little good. I wasn't about to pony up another $20 prior to at least having a good idea that I'll gain new insight from it. Surprisingly, after 40 pages, the wine crate furniture idea came rushing into my mind. Shortly after I was at my seat typing words and time was flying. The book explained simply that it's crucial to make your customers and readers part of your team. So for my storage area neighbor; this article is for you..<br />

7. <b>Industrial Chic Petrus Vineyard Wine Crate Table</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZHa9TmCvc_0/VcKOjej8msI/AAAAAAAAY3k/-bYEM3akkzc/s1600/Industrial%2BChic%2BPetrus%2BSide%2BTable.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZHa9TmCvc_0/VcKOjej8msI/AAAAAAAAY3k/-bYEM3akkzc/s320/Industrial%2BChic%2BPetrus%2BSide%2BTable.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<br />
I found this on Pinterest under an Etsy listing that was no longer available. I have no idea how they got that pipe to attach to or go through the crate. Looking at it gives me a bit of nostalgia for some reason.<br />
<br />
6. <b>Vintage-Style Wine Crate Coffee Table</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQNtt6KKzsZlG8ldCyXXg68u8b3fKk_2LWoiepHFLIsnVI_30k6iQ2-9CBxxrnnnTdIgH2H4CZv4UQcO9PXFINH5on0SElJU_qjU1ioDL5bB2KTUgt6ZpKQHyWyHCBcOOvFS03_uRCykU/s1600/Vintage+Coffee+Table+Called+the+Slim+Jim+on+etsy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQNtt6KKzsZlG8ldCyXXg68u8b3fKk_2LWoiepHFLIsnVI_30k6iQ2-9CBxxrnnnTdIgH2H4CZv4UQcO9PXFINH5on0SElJU_qjU1ioDL5bB2KTUgt6ZpKQHyWyHCBcOOvFS03_uRCykU/s320/Vintage+Coffee+Table+Called+the+Slim+Jim+on+etsy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Another Pinterest/Etsy find and it's called the "Slim Jim". I believe the crate was finished with a vintage stain and legs were built into the bottom. Lovely work.<br />
<br />
5.<b>Storage Wine Box with Casters</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ_wQiLJOoXs99T1972OElOnRD5HR6skqqQbUuZXLJ_kID5pAZpicHgqdwpuMArSuV0ACC6WIb6DGjEaOk5kEKUmq2Cqy3OoMJnrYsy0lWEbBqaWhgPMMVOG_VadP4JQq6CIftr2iHcnc/s1600/Storage+Crate+on+Casters+Frugelegance+dot+com.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ_wQiLJOoXs99T1972OElOnRD5HR6skqqQbUuZXLJ_kID5pAZpicHgqdwpuMArSuV0ACC6WIb6DGjEaOk5kEKUmq2Cqy3OoMJnrYsy0lWEbBqaWhgPMMVOG_VadP4JQq6CIftr2iHcnc/s320/Storage+Crate+on+Casters+Frugelegance+dot+com.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<br />
This piece is from www.frugelegance.com and is a 6 bottle Napa medium wine box with casters built into the bottom so it can be wheeled around easily.<br />
<br />
4. <b>Warres Vintage Port End Table w/ Glass Top</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xGBFN64a52c/VcKP1IkL_vI/AAAAAAAAY38/30MaGpy7-TM/s1600/Wine%2BCrate%2BEnd%2BTable%2Btheberry%2Bdot%2Bcom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xGBFN64a52c/VcKP1IkL_vI/AAAAAAAAY38/30MaGpy7-TM/s320/Wine%2BCrate%2BEnd%2BTable%2Btheberry%2Bdot%2Bcom.jpg" width="289" /></a></div>
<br />
This is like artwork and it matches the surrounding decor brilliantly. The heavy glass top is a testament to the durability of wine crates<br />
<br />
3. <b>Man-Cave/Wine Bar</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyOY_A-7_sguGNQUNw3zWS3VBLZ4cW4csyOZDwYqxmdxd7Szpp-xtkoA1YmcYPUGxmbe29jADmGxiDbi8pi21LQgrfWiCJAz9x27poJ4xTMpci8y8jNkgFUspWe4SqevGscPVztleEN34/s1600/Bar+with+Tabletop+Made+of+Wine+Panels.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyOY_A-7_sguGNQUNw3zWS3VBLZ4cW4csyOZDwYqxmdxd7Szpp-xtkoA1YmcYPUGxmbe29jADmGxiDbi8pi21LQgrfWiCJAz9x27poJ4xTMpci8y8jNkgFUspWe4SqevGscPVztleEN34/s320/Bar+with+Tabletop+Made+of+Wine+Panels.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
One of my personal favorites done by one of our clients, this bar top is professionally covered with dozen wine crate panels from all over Europe - www.winepine.com<br />
<br />
2. <b>Wine Crate Dresser with Table</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SarQTHuRLTE/VcKQ4oR-pNI/AAAAAAAAY4M/RUH1qcJMb4I/s1600/Wine%2BCrate%2BDresser%2BCabinet%2Bon%2BEtsy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SarQTHuRLTE/VcKQ4oR-pNI/AAAAAAAAY4M/RUH1qcJMb4I/s320/Wine%2BCrate%2BDresser%2BCabinet%2Bon%2BEtsy.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Meticulously crafted dresser and table with wine crate shelves. Another piece found on Etsy, and sometimes I wonder why Etsy doesn't redirect to the stores that make these. A great deal of time and effort must go into these projects.<br />
<br />
1. <b>Wine Crate Ottoman</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EF8zODdUD90/VcKRUWuKgdI/AAAAAAAAY4U/Vv1FrkkqV5A/s1600/Wine%2BCrate%2BOttoman%2Bon%2BEtsy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EF8zODdUD90/VcKRUWuKgdI/AAAAAAAAY4U/Vv1FrkkqV5A/s320/Wine%2BCrate%2BOttoman%2Bon%2BEtsy.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<br />
Yet another Etsy find, the Wine Crate Ottoman is quickly becoming one of the more sought after items in the wine crate world. They are not as easy as they look to make. Believe me..<br />
<br />
In closing I want to point out that I'm looking for new content all the time. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions I'm very open to them. Feel free to leave a comment below and I'll get back to you and possibly write an article based on your comment. I'm aiming to get a new blog post out there every Wednesday so I can use all the help I can get!<br />

Thank you again,<br />

We've sold many wine crates as television and movie props in the past so I thought this would be easy. After several hours of searching I wasn't having too much luck because most of the shows were on video. I did however, find a surprising amount of wine cellars from historic locations in the process of searching that had, well, wine crates in them..<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I admit that I am a little obsessed with wine crates as I've been selling them for a third of my life. I do get great joy seeing them in beautiful houses. Because of this, I've compiled a small list of 8 wine cellars that have the following characteristics:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>House is over 100 years old</li>
<li>Property owned by a famous person or brand</li>
<li>Have wooden wine crates or wine boxes in them</li>
<li>The wine cellar was especially attractive and unique</li>
</ul>
<div>
Without further ado, here is my favorite 8 historic wine cellars:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>8. Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the most spectacular hotels ever, Ritz Carlton is known for large and ornate wine themed interior designs and cellars. This space has both a modern feel and an old world look<br />
<br />
<b>7. Ann Colgin Historic Converted Farmhouse featured in Architectural Digest</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pXHhS2mzVXk/Vbliziig64I/AAAAAAAAYtw/fCNar-ZG51s/s1600/Ann%2BColgin%2BHistoric%2BConverted%2BFarmhouse%2BCellar%2Bfrom%2BArchitectural%2BDigest.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pXHhS2mzVXk/Vbliziig64I/AAAAAAAAYtw/fCNar-ZG51s/s320/Ann%2BColgin%2BHistoric%2BConverted%2BFarmhouse%2BCellar%2Bfrom%2BArchitectural%2BDigest.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The Colgin vineyard is a staple in Napa Valley. This very old barn on the property was brilliantly re-made into a wine cellar, with stone pillars to hold bottles and a hardwood rack<br />
<br />
<b>6. The First Wine Cellar in Sonoma California circa 1870</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eA65a07s-pU/VbljqxV9xSI/AAAAAAAAYt8/D_FpjwNSXgo/s1600/One%2Bof%2Bthe%2Bfirst%2BSonoma%2Bwine%2Bcellars%2Bfrom%2Bthe%2B1870s.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="183" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eA65a07s-pU/VbljqxV9xSI/AAAAAAAAYt8/D_FpjwNSXgo/s320/One%2Bof%2Bthe%2Bfirst%2BSonoma%2Bwine%2Bcellars%2Bfrom%2Bthe%2B1870s.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I looked high and low to try to find the source of this picture to no avail. It was definitely modernized because of that brand-new looking Screaming Eagle wooden wine case on the table, and the racks look like they were recently put in. Other than that it's a mystery.<br />
<br />
<b>5.</b> <b>Historic Weathersfield Inn</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-84y-5YvtWIA/Vblkbe0xhJI/AAAAAAAAYuE/nqc3P1FOxSw/s1600/Historic%2BWeathersfield%2BInn%2BWIne%2BCellar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-84y-5YvtWIA/Vblkbe0xhJI/AAAAAAAAYuE/nqc3P1FOxSw/s320/Historic%2BWeathersfield%2BInn%2BWIne%2BCellar.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Located in Vermont, this secluded and upscale inn has a southern colonial look. The cellar is elegant yet approachable<br />
<br />
<b>4. Rugby Road in the University of Virginia</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-k_1yY_W-EF8/VbllwiMS5TI/AAAAAAAAYuQ/D8KuJhj1lU4/s1600/Historic%2BRugby%2BRoad%2BWine%2BCellar%2Bof%2BUniversity%2Bof%2BVirginia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-k_1yY_W-EF8/VbllwiMS5TI/AAAAAAAAYuQ/D8KuJhj1lU4/s320/Historic%2BRugby%2BRoad%2BWine%2BCellar%2Bof%2BUniversity%2Bof%2BVirginia.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Described as clean, modern and unpretentious, The Rugby Road Rotunda wine cellar will make you quickly forget that its well over 100 years old.<br />
<br />
<b>3. The Elysee Palace</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x57ray0CgdQ/Vblm86Vj7rI/AAAAAAAAYuc/_MlNtxAdvzM/s1600/Elysee%2BWine%2BCellar%2BPresident%2Bof%2BFrance.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x57ray0CgdQ/Vblm86Vj7rI/AAAAAAAAYuc/_MlNtxAdvzM/s320/Elysee%2BWine%2BCellar%2BPresident%2Bof%2BFrance.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
This is the private wine cellar of the President of France. It is terribly unfortunate that they're in the process of liquidating for the austerity of France. This is where Napoleon kept his prized wines!<br />
<br />
<b>2. Mouton Rothschild</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gpOPujsKXgk/VblonDnrSiI/AAAAAAAAYuo/Wfdle-wWYUw/s1600/Mouton%2BRothchild%2BPrivate%2BCellar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gpOPujsKXgk/VblonDnrSiI/AAAAAAAAYuo/Wfdle-wWYUw/s320/Mouton%2BRothchild%2BPrivate%2BCellar.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
I found the 1st and 2nd spots to be especially difficult to choose between. If you read alot of my posts you'll know that I'm a huge fan of the Rothschild family. It pains me to put the magnificent Mouton Rothschild cellar in 2nd place, but when you see number 1 you'll know why<br />
<br />
<b>1. Historic Alverna Mansion</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i8--aUVHodc/VblpQ7FAkwI/AAAAAAAAYuw/1Gaatu9G4iU/s1600/Historic%2BAlverna%2BMansion%2B2000%2Bsquare%2Bfoot%2Bwine%2Bcellar%2Bsimilar%2Bto%2BDownton%2BAbbey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i8--aUVHodc/VblpQ7FAkwI/AAAAAAAAYuw/1Gaatu9G4iU/s320/Historic%2BAlverna%2BMansion%2B2000%2Bsquare%2Bfoot%2Bwine%2Bcellar%2Bsimilar%2Bto%2BDownton%2BAbbey.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This unbelievable 2000 square foot space was the inspiration for the Downton Abbey's wine cellar. It's so big and I loved it so much that I had to put another picture of it below.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here you can see that they also added drawers that fit wine crates. I have a hard time looking away from this space<br />
