Steps:

  1. You will need some PVC pipe that is a diameter large enough to hold a wine bottle (figure A). Have the pipe cut to pieces that are about 1-1/2 inches shorter than a standard wine bottle (figure B).

  • Determine how many bottles you would like to store in the table then determine how big the box needs to be based on containing that many pipes. Construct a simple box that accommodates the pipes; we used birch and added a little trim to dress it up. Stack the lengths of pipe inside the box (figure C).

    Option:
    Use green glaze instead of brown if it better fits your decor (figure I). Purple would work well, too.
