ABSTRACT:
A combination wine rack and glass retention/dispensing assembly for glasses of a type having a stem attached to a generally planar base. The assembly comprises a main housing with front, rear, and side walls, in which the front and rear walls have bottle-receiving openings therein to accommodate bottles in a substantially horizontal position. An L-shaped member with web and foot portions is joined at an upper end of its web to a side wall, with its foot laterally inwardly extending from a lower end of the web. A second member, which may be of L- or inverted T-shape, is joined at an upper end of its web to lower ends of the front and rear walls in laterally spaced, substantially parallel relationship to the L-shaped member joined to the side wall, with a foot of the second member extending toward the inwardly facing foot of the L-shaped member, to cooperatively therewith form a track for retention and dispensing of glasses positionable in the track in an inverted orientation, with the respective feet of the L-shaped and second members of the track supporting the base(s) of retained glass(es) in such orientation. The assembly comprises means associated with at least one of the walls of the enclosure, for joining the assembly to an overlying horizontal surface, such as the bottom surface of an overhead cabinet.
