I feel like only grownups own wine racks; that is probably why I'm so attracted to the Wine Knot. Not because I necessarily think I'm a grownup, but because I want to believe I am. If you knew me, you would understand--people still think I'm a teenager!
Of course, the Wine Knot is more appealing than its grownup status. Chic and modern, its twisting shape is beautiful to behold. I don't think people will even register the alcohol it holds until after they've finished gawking over the Wine Knot.
