FAQs
What type of wood is used for the Balance Wine Holder - Snail?
It is made from high-quality Suar wood, known for its durability and beautiful natural grain patterns.
How many bottles can this holder accommodate?
The design is specifically made to hold one standard wine bottle.
Is the finish waterproof?
No, the natural matte finish is not waterproof. It should be kept dry and cleaned with a damp cloth only.
Can I use this for olive oil bottles?
Yes, it is suitable for holding decorative olive oil bottles or other spirits bottles, provided their neck dimensions are compatible with a standard wine bottle.
Since it's handmade, will my holder look exactly like the picture?
Each holder is handmade, meaning there will be slight variations in wood grain and carving details, making every piece unique. The overall design and quality will be consistent.
What are the dimensions of the holder?
Specific dimensions are not provided, but it is designed to be a stable base for a standard 750ml wine bottle.
How should I clean the wood?
Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking or using abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Bottle feels unstable
Ensure the holder is placed on a perfectly level surface. Check that the bottle's neck is fully and snugly inserted into the carved opening. Try a different bottle to rule out variations in bottle neck size.
Wood shows minor surface marks
This is often a natural characteristic of handmade wooden items. Minor surface imperfections can be gently buffed with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, consult a wood care guide for appropriate restoration techniques.
Holder does not seem to balance
Verify that the holder itself is not warped or damaged. Ensure the bottle is centered within the carved opening. The effectiveness of the balance relies on the precise carving and the bottle's weight distribution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
- Designed to hold one standard wine bottle (750ml).
