@Dan — It can be used for any round object, like soda cans or beer bottles. Plus, unlike a giant wine rack, you can store it away when not in use.

You guys that are too cheap to buy the the real thing are making this overly complicated. The answer is duct tape. You won’t have to worry about the strength of the foam you are using or the shape of the bottle (I suspect box) of wine.

I think I’ll get my grandson to colour two paper towel tubes, and stick them to a cloth with velcro.

As for odd shaped bottles, I wonder if strips of that rubber shelf protector stuff might give just enough friction to hold them well?

I’m pretty sure these originated from this BBC show: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dragonsden

@robyn - you could also lighten your wallet a few quid and get the genuine article.

Sheesh!

It probably only works well for bottles of same shape and size (notice the sample photo) - and only ones that are fairly cylindrical, at that. Mismatched bottles do not stack well, regardless of what’s stopping the bottom ones from rolling away.

@Brian and @Athol …

You take apart the display and put it back together.

Bump for Brian’s question.

“What if you want a bottle from the bottom?”

@Trish–They’re hard rubber, not squishy like craft foam.

It says they are made from rubber so I doubt they are craft foam. (Though I thought the same thing at first glance.)

I was thinking they would good for those of use who have cardboard tubes of old drawings and such.

It looks like it is made from craft foam, which you can buy at the craft store in sheets (and it comes in lots of nifty colors). You could probably oragami & glue a sheet into a similar shape and get the same results.

Looks nifty. I think there’s got to be a way to hack a homemade version pretty easily. (Hmmmm. Think, think, think…)
