Now vino what to do with an old engine block.
 
Looks like it's only running on 7; missing on number 1 (or 8) cylinder.

Are we bordeaux what ...

:laugh:
 
Oh its just sour grapes you guys :jester:
 
My friend has a Jag V12 block sitting around and now he's got new ideas for it!
 
Hmmm, Mark Wine bottles might not fit in the Jag V-12 block
What's the bore on those, 3.5"??

Most bottles are about 3"+
You might get a Bordeaux to fit but a 750ml to a Burgundy is pushing it Especially if there is a liner like in the photo

Oh, dang... that's right. Would have to be big-ass American iron. Might have to go with 375ml bottles. :yesnod: But then again, maybe if the cylinders were Bordeaux-ed out to something larger... oh, nevermind. :laugh:


EDITING:
This just in...

Bordeaux Bottle - 750ml(25 oz.)
11.5" Length - 3" Diameter (292 x 75 mm)
Burgundy/Champagne Bottle - 750ml(25 oz.)
11.5" Length - 3.5" Diameter (292 x 75 mm)
ā€“ might JUST fit :cooler:
 
Actually Bordeaux is about 2 7/8's
And Burgundy is 3 3/8's

Don't forget that sleeve to hold them Level
 
Now adapt the cooling system from an old refridgerator using the water jacket and Bob's your cooler uncle!! :laugh:
 
Probably ought to use an old car A/C to complete the ensemble. :smile:
 
I don't know how they taste, but THESE are the wines that need to go into this wine display.
 
Right Don... they are kind of cool looking.
 
Elliot, I am going to show those to Annie, so she understands I like wine and am sophisticated (HUH?)

Boy is it gonna be exciting here tonight.
And I got an old Chev 350 so I can make another wine rack, Thanks guys.
