5. Usage

The Sorbus wine rack is designed to hold standard 750ml wine bottles. Each scallop tier is crafted to display bottles horizontally, which helps keep the cork moist and prevents air from entering the bottle, preserving the wine's quality.

• Carefully place each wine bottle into the individual scallop holders.
• Ensure bottles are fully seated and stable before releasing them.
• Distribute bottles evenly across the rack to maintain balance and stability.

6. Maintenance

To keep your Sorbus wine rack in optimal condition, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Regularly wipe the rack with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust and debris.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.

7. Troubleshooting

• Rack feels wobbly: Ensure all screws are tightened. If the rack is freestanding, verify it is on a level surface. For maximum stability, use the wall-mounting feature.
• Bottles do not fit: This rack is designed for standard 750ml wine bottles. Some oversized or unusually shaped bottles may not fit properly. Do not force bottles into the holders.
• Missing parts: If any parts were missing upon delivery, please contact Sorbus customer support for assistance.
