Though the dim lighting makes it hard to tell, the Vintage View Platinum WS43 & WS33 Series wine racks pictured here were finished in brushed nickel, for additional aesthetic appeal. The racks also come in a variety of other finishes, including (but not limited to) copper, brass and black. As you can see in this photo, the bottles are displayed in a horizontal orientation with the labels facing out. It makes browsing convenient. The cork remains in contact with the wine, preventing wine oxidation.
