PoP RackHello.  This month we would like to feature one of our favorite products for homes or apartments.  It's called a Point-of-Purchase wine rack, because it was designed for stores to put near the register to catch you on the way out with a featured wine; but we call it a PoP rack for short, and we recommend it for folks who like wine but don't have a wine room.  Since it's "portable," you can move it anywhere, or take it with you when you move.

This handy rack assembles easily and can be placed wherever you have a bit of space:  pantry, corner of kitchen or dining nook, top of cellar stairs, back hall, front closet, etc.  It holds 27 bottles of wine.  That's two cases horizontally, and 3 extra bottles on top where you can display your best wines!  They are all held at an angle to keep the cork wet (if your bottles have corks).  And in typical VintageView wine rack fashion, you can read all the labels without removing the wine bottles from the rack or creating your own labels to hang on the necks.  The racks (including the bottles) require 40-1/2" of height, 13" width, and about a foot of depth.

You can own this rack in black for $99.99 or nickel for $124.99.  Shipping is $10.50, and they are available for immediate shipment.  Visit our PoP rack web page, and give us a call at 888-327-0637 to order.  Newsletter Special:  [Sorry, you have to subscribe to the newsletter to read our specials!]

Do you know what the most popular section of our website is?  Building Your Own Wine Room or Wine Cellar.  It's the place to go if you are even remotely thinking about building a wine room.  We get lots of nice compliments from folks who have used this section to guide their thinking.

Out of the Office Notification:  We've never had to do this before, but we will be closed from May 13-21.  If you call our office, you'll find contact information for urgent matters, and we'll be back ready to serve all your needs on Monday, May 24th.

Top US Wine Brands:  In its April issue, Beverage World magazine quotes an Infoscan review from Information Resources Inc. showing the top selling wine brand in the USA is Sutter Home, followed by Yellow Tail and Barefoot, which had the strongest growth (nearly 35%).  Yellow Tail had been #1 for awhile.  The magazine also reports that the number of "core" versus "marginal" wine drinkers has been increasing over the last 9 years, and that those core drinkers are now evenly split between male and female, whereas they used to be predominently female.  Wine varietals seeing significantly increased sales were Malbec, Moscato/Muscat, Tempranillo, and Petite Sirah.  A totally different study by Nielsen showed that Merlot is the wine purchased by the most households (9.5% of them), even though it is the third best selling varietal.

Product UpdateBreezaire no longer offers its base models with the mechanical thermostats (the WK and WKC series) except for the split system (WKS) models.  The WKL, WKE, and WKCE series offer an electronic thermostat.  As we mentioned in a previous issue, the WKS4000 model has been redesigned and now has a maximum line length of 50'.  Later this year the WKS2200 model will also be redesigned, and it will have a different shape, an electronic thermostat, and a shorter maximum line length.  We are always available to consult with customers on installation considerations for Breezaire wine room coolers -- the only brand we sell.
