Why is there such a romance between wine lovers and recycled wine products? I can’t think of any other industry that creates such beautiful works of art from recycled items.
My family has a love affair with wine and a growing love affair with recycled wine products. My brothers bought my mother this Customized Wine Barrel Lazy Susanfor Christmas and as you can imagine, it was a big hit. The Wine Barrel Lazy Susan is a converted wine barrel end, advantageously re-employed as a spinning server (23.5″D x 2″H), and displays the original imprint of the winery of origin.
Customized Lazy Susan
The natural finish of the Lazy Susan, (plus the barrel maker’s markings), gives it a bit of a rustic feel, which I like. My brothers opted to have it customized with a stenciled inscription, but were not sold on the large “army-like” font that was used. At first glance I must admit that I was not sold on it either, but it has grown on me and I have come to like it. You can customize any personal inscription with a maximum of three lines with 18 characters per line, or just leave it as is and enjoy the simplicity of the oak.
You can utilize the Lazy Susan in a role that will get a little more attention and a lot more use as the condiment keeper on your dining table, a presentation tray for a wine-accompanying assortment of treats, (a few organic cheeses, organic figs and fruit), or to making toppings available for fajitas and tacos. The wine-barrel will tie-in to the drink of the evening as well as make you look inspiringly organized.
I think this is a great accessory to any table, plus it also makes for a great gift. The sturdy construction promises a long life, plus the hardware that is used on the base to turn the barrel works flawlessly, which makes for easy spinning of the Lazy Susan. The price tag of an Unstenciled Lazy Susan is $129.00 at VivaTerra and if you opt to have it stenciled
, the price is $149.00, well worth every penny. Purchase one for yourself or send one, (or even two), as gifts and see for yourself.
Wine Barrel Lazy Susan
An astounding amount of wine barrels are discarded every year. In California alone 200,000 handcrafted oak wine barrels made from 200- to 300-year-old trees are thrown away by wineries annually. Supporting a creative reuse of wine barrels extends the lives of such noble oaks.
