I also know of something that you might find of interest. My bro works for a company Called JYMRSA. They have worked with wineries and wine collectors in the past in riding them of mold and mildew on their bottles. From my understanding their product not only gets rid of the mold, but it also stops it from returning in the future. Don't quote me on this but I have their website if you would like to get a hold of them. www.jymrsa.com Hey Jeff O. I also know of something that you might find of interest.

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 21:05:47 +0000 http://wineracks.wordpress.com/?p=49#comment-52 Mr. Porter - Thank you for your informative comment! This is a major issue for many many collectors out there. This month's Food and Wine Magazine estimates that within a few years the number of wine consumers in America will reach 148 million, up 66% from 15 years ago. You can bet that with so many new collectors on the market we will continue to see an uptick of people with these same questions about mold and mildew. Have a great day!

This works very well at cleaning mold off bottles when a cellar has been damaged and does not harm the labels...i think it's all natural ingredients.

It does sound as though you have a very innovative product which is great. If your wine is stored properly at the right humidity, it will taste better and last longer.

To answer you questions about racking depth: 1)There is no stability differences between 10 5/8" racking and deeper versions. The part of the bottle that touches the racking is no more than 9". There are however advantages to having slightly shallower racking as the bottle top is slightly exposed and is a good place to hang a bottle tag. Deeper racks make it harder to locate and label individual bottles. 2) You are correct in pointing out that even 12 1/2" deep racks are not deep enough for every bottle (including your Reislings). In my opinion all bottle shapes and sizes look fine in our racking products, never "funny" or out of place. 3) Personal choice is what every option in your cellar is all about, and that includes racking depth. Among our more than 25,000 customers, to my knowledge we have never heard "Your racks are not deep enough". We believe our racks are a perfect depth to securely house and identify your bottles, plus they ship more conveniently for your benefit on site. Hope this answers your questions! Jeff O.

Are bottles more stable with the greater depth? Are the aesthetics more pleasing with the greater depth ie all one sees in the necks of bottles vs seeing the rack and the bottles within? What about Reisling and other extremely long bottles? Do these look 'funny' in the 10 5/8" rank? Are they more likely to get bumped? Are is it simply a matter of personal choice?

However you'll still need a wine rack or cellar to allow proper access to the bottles or labels, and to organize and display them in a functional way.
