I wonder if you could lay it flat on a table as a centerpiece, or on a mantle or shelf, and put some small jars, or vases....or even wine bottles of varying heights to hold plants...real or fake.
Or you could try hanging it on the wall horizontally and use it to store kitchen towels, or maybe oils and vinegars, or find some glass jars that fit the holes and fill them baking supplies or seasonings.
If you want to get real crazy you could suspend it from the ceiling in the kitchen and use it as a pot rack...you'll need to buy some hooks and chains for that.
If you don’t drink wine you could put Monin syrup bottles in there if you use those? Or you could decorate it with vines and use it as a decor piece
Edit: or just sell it/give it away if you can’t find a use for it. I guarantee that a wine drinker would absolutely love this for their home.
It can get a bit annoying. I have found that the best way to be sure your tool is findable, is to put it back where it belongs when you are finished using it. Not a tough concept to grasp, but in practice it does seem to be difficult for some.
Bathroom: jars full of epsom salts, dried flower petals/potpourri, wash cloths, hand towels, toilet paper rolls
Kitchen: Reusable water bottles/tumblers, paper towel rolls (maybe too close to the floor for this), Mason/storage jars full of tea/coffee/grains/pasta, various glass liquor bottles
Entryway: Umbrellas, nice shoes
Fun & Creative: Plants, art supplies, fabric rolls, use sideways with glass vases inside- fill with flowers/plants/candles/floating candles.
if it can be mounted somewhere rotated sideways without being two heavy, circular openings work very well for hanging/sorting thick fabric through, if you’re someone who works with cloth at all.
if you turn it on its side, so the holes are vertical, it could be used as an elevated flower pot holder for an herb garden
I would probably use it to store windshield wiper blades. You could store firewood in it if you have a fireplace. Weiner dogs? Logs of bologna? The possibilities are endless 😁
I second the idea of a plant trellis, but I'd use it indoors! Plant one or more climbing plants in a pot that's large enough for your wine rack to stand in, 'staple' the rack in with some long wire (you can even get[ garden staples](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Vigoro-3-5-in-Weed-Barrier-Landscape-Fabric-Garden-Staples-25-Pack-85025VG/320062960)), and let the plant(s) climb up the rack. You could even hang some suncatchers from the top curlicues for interest!
If you want to keep it in the kitchen you could get some decorative bottles for things you use a lot like vinegar, olive oil, vegetable oil, and store them in the rack. If you did that you could buy those things in bulk and just refill the decorative bottles as you use them. You'd end up saving money, and your often-used ingredients would be close-at-hand! You could also make some flavored concoctions to go along with the ingredients you use just to look pretty or just for fun. Things like[ infused olive oils](https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=infused%20olive%20oil&rs=typed), oil and vinegar salad dressing (that doesn't need to be refrigerated!!), or [homemade vanilla extract](https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?rs=ac&len=2&q=diy%20extracts%20recipes&eq=diy%20extracts&etslf=14357) would be nice!
Could also be a great alternative to an indoor tree if you have a sunny place for it- place the pot underneath & let the vine grow up. Black-eyed Susan Vine (Thunbergia)would work well & it’s really pretty.
Turn it sideways, mount it on the wall. Then get one of those flexible bamboo placemats (or even a sushi mat - [linky link](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Kaneyama-Sushi-Mat/800190217?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=2334&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=22222222278800190217_161193766053_21214199653&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=697173827980&wl4=pla-2300760861495&wl5=9006773&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=800190217&veh=sem_LIA&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw4f6zBhBVEiwATEHFVs5DZlyqsHPswLJkhbxjlYwEHVqPJvkvu2ucNjX0df8Clbk0b5H5dxoCnhUQAvD_BwE)) and cut it to size; attach to what is now the top, and use it as a shelf. The wine bottle cutouts could be used for a bunch of different things, but I would go more practical, like in an entryway for a drop zone or in the bedroom for a display of scarves, etc.
Since Op knows it’s a wine rack but wants it for other purposes, I go along with the garden trellis suggestion! Anchor it to the ground firmly and train your favorite vine through it. It’s too cute to get rid of for sure. I hope you post again no matter how you choose to upcycle it. I’d love to see what you end up doing no matter what you choose! Have fun!
Corks go out the narrow ring so turn it around and leave space behind for filling the rack. I would suggest some Mouton Cadet from Costco since it was probably stuffed with them when the rack was new.
I should’ve said “how should i utilize this besides wine?” Lol sorry ! I see how the actual question isn’t clear, most people don’t see where I say it’s a wine rack
I’d put it in the garden and use it as a trellis for a climbing plant.
Clematis would love to grow around that. Could try wall mounting it as well, get some more height with guidelines to the ground.
Make sure you get clematis native to wherever you live ❤️
That’s exactly what I thought as well.
I wonder if you can put wine bottles in it and grow things out of them.
probably designed for wine bottles. assuming it is sturdy enough. can't tell by picture. otherwise the trellis ideas are perfect!
Yes, it's a wine rack
Wine, toilet paper
Not sure how you'd get the rolls to stay.
Ok I see now
Exactly. I grab so many random wrought iron things at thrift stores specifically for my garden. Old cd towers work great too!
Or lay it horizontally outside and put plant pots in each circle

Love that 2nd idea!
Big jars for candles, cut flowers
Unless the bottles are pressure corked and not opened they will start to leak if stored sideways
No ideas, but I really love it! It looks like it will gain sentience and start singing to you any second
Very Lumière coded
Cut plastic bottles in half lengthwise and put one in each. Now it’s a cascading plant tower.
Skeins of yarn, rolled up magazines, 2liter soda bottles?
Roll your towels.and use it as a towel rack.
Beach towels would be lovely.
My MIL had done this. Looked cute, but you have learn how to fold and roll the towels just right to fit.
Foldable umbrellas. Hang the big ones from the top bars.

I see it as a plant holder ..lay it down and place pots in it
Wine
Spare rolls of toilet tissue?
Technically wine, but it could also hold tools. Everything ends up with tools when I'm around.
There's a tool for every job, and place apparently.
Yeah.....I've worked with people like that.

an assortment of sex toys
But the holes are way too small
I can't reply to this without sounding even weirder than my first comment LOL

Yarn
If no inside use then maybe as a trellis
Beside your entrance, with sunscreen, bug spray, a water bottle, dog leash - things you'll want on the way out the door
Crafting supplies. I was thinking laminate rolls for the cricut
Plant trellis

Reusable water bottles & thermoses?
Lay it on its side and use it for plants/herb garden
I used a similar one as a magazine rack.
If not wine bottles, maybe rolled up towels in the bathroom?
Are we making suggestions other than wine? Because that’s a wine rack
Yes
Pringles
That's a toughie! Maybe stuff like plastic wrap/tin foil/parchment paper, etc?
I would probably use it to store windshield wiper blades. You could store firewood in it if you have a fireplace. Weiner dogs? Logs of bologna? The possibilities are endless 😁
How many wiper blades do you go through?
Enough to make wiper storage be an issue in the shop lol. I fix stuff.
Or....wine bottles?
[удалено]
A self-evident incorrect suggestion based on the context lol
Wine
would be cute to hold plant pots if you laid it flat but idk if you’re planning to leave it there
Potted plant placed on top in opening and let the vines weave through the base

Scarves, hats, and gloves? 🖖
Lay it sideways and use it as a planter. Or if the current position has a flat top add a wooden plant on it as a planter. Basically I’m seeing planter
If you’ve got room you could lay it down and put a wooden top on it. Keep shoes on top and hats/scarves underneath?
Planters, magazines rolled, possible shoes 🫣
would shoes fit?
It's for wine bottles
Umbrellas
It looks like it's ready to walk away.
Wine bottles
life juice
Whine
Wine
Wine bottles maybe?
If not wine, then hand towels in the bathroom.
Most people use their wine racks to hold wine
Lay it flat and put terracotta pots in it for an herb garden
Scrolls
Wine bottles.
Artificial flowers...or succulents!!!
It’s for wine bottles you fuckin idiot
Absolutely wine.
Absolutely wine.
I think it's meant for wine bottles.. But you could also put mortar shells in it if you're planning to go to war..
I’ve seen these before and always been very confused! Let me know what you decide to do with it!
Vino
Wine bottles?
If you don’t want to use it in the garden as a trellis, you could also put it on its side as a section of garden border
It's to display your various flavors of Pringles. Or umbrella holder. or both at the same time.
👍👍
Scarf holder?

It looks like it’s for wine bottles but anything that size and shape will do.
Wine's not your thing, huh? Yarn. Trellis. Cables. Stuffed animals in a vertical cascade of weirdness. Mountain Dew.
Have you thought of using it as a plant trellis?
Guest towels.
Strikes me as a wine bottle holder
Wine
(Paper) towels, Toilet paper, umbrellas. Pretty much any cylindrical object. Paint to your liking.
It’s for wine bottles
It’s giving Sudowoodo
It looks like a wine rack to me
shackles idk
Wine bottles.
I’d use it to hold all the effin’ metal and plastic water bottles I have.
Wine..
Cats
Roll up hand towels in the bathroom or use to hold coffee mugs—that’s what I did with mine 🤪
Wine bottles??
Some people put wine in them.
Add a beat. It’s clearly very into its dance.
YARN HOLDER!!! And since everyone lives yarn, you can move it from room to room whenever the mood strikes.
Wine for sure! Or Martinelli 😄
Wine?
You could do moonflowers? But check to see if those are toxic around pets and small babies
Wine
Very long shoes
A vine plant
Bath towels or tp
Fil with cups with art supplies
Water bottle storage
Stanley cups?
Could also be a great alternative to an indoor tree if you have a sunny place for it- place the pot underneath & let the vine grow up. Black-eyed Susan Vine (Thunbergia)would work well & it’s really pretty.
Wine is the only correct answer
Spray paint cans
flip flops
Shoes
Towel rolls, get smaller towels for it
Turn it sideways, mount it on the wall. Then get one of those flexible bamboo placemats (or even a sushi mat - [linky link](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Kaneyama-Sushi-Mat/800190217?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=2334&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=22222222278800190217_161193766053_21214199653&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=697173827980&wl4=pla-2300760861495&wl5=9006773&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=800190217&veh=sem_LIA&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw4f6zBhBVEiwATEHFVs5DZlyqsHPswLJkhbxjlYwEHVqPJvkvu2ucNjX0df8Clbk0b5H5dxoCnhUQAvD_BwE)) and cut it to size; attach to what is now the top, and use it as a shelf.

Wine bottles
Horizontal and wall mounted: accessories like scarves, belts, and such
Turn it over Plant pots :)
Wine 🍷
It's meant to hold wine bottles. My grandma has one
You put it back where you found it. Hideous!
Corks go out the narrow ring so turn it around and leave space behind for filling the rack. I would suggest some Mouton Cadet from Costco since it was probably stuffed with them when the rack was new.
