7. Now that makes sense.
Although I'd still suggest the bong, just in case.

This is what I use:



Are those terra cotta pipes buried in the ground? Is it like some kind of Roman-era cooling system?

19. Yes, I'm looking for an antiquated subterranean system to store my wine.
That's what I wanted, exactly!

14. Oh, I think I've heard of those.
(Made of terra cotta, but what you call these specific things, I dunno.)

I recall you set them in a disk of water, then put a bottle of wine in. Water wicks up the clay and evaporates, cooling the wine to a pleasant temp.

Sorry, not idea what they are called.

16. Looks to be terra cotta chimney flues and/or chimney caps
Edited on Sat Jul-30-05 08:40 PM by havocmom
Narrows the opening so stuff (critters) don't go down the flue and also keeps hot embers off your roof

edited to add:

Terra cotta flues come in many sizes. My brother in law used some large ones to make a double pedistal base for a large rock table. There are small ones the right size for wine bottles. I have seen wine racks with several held together with heavy rope then topped with thick glass to make a bar table. Am going to build them into some shelve units built into a wall when we build the retirement casa
