1966 Epernay Antique Wine Rack

1966 Epernay Antique Wine Rack, Riddling rack originally from Champagne.  Holds 120 wine bottles.

The "champagne pupitre," or riddling wine rack, is a traditional wooden frame used in the production of Champagne to facilitate the process of "riddling" (or "remuage" in French). This technique is a crucial step in the méthode traditionnelle (traditional method) of making sparkling wine, including Champagne.

It is antique and does show wear on the sides, see the pictures, giving it further character. On the top right side is carved P Filaine La Villa D'ay, 1966. This is genuine and very rare, whereas most racks today are manufactured by chain stores, and older products labeled antiques are actually manufactured in China

Today these racks are often used as wine racks displaying a piece of wine history along with your favourite bottles of wine.
