Since we moved into our coach, we stored the few wine and liquor bottles we brought in carrier bags, shoved in a cupboard, with some bubble wrap for extra padding. Which kept them safe from breakage and rattling while driving, but made them difficult to access.

Here they are after pulling them out of the cupboard (unfortunately I didn’t think to take a picture of them in there):

Here’s the empty cupboard, below the window in the dining area (they were actually in a different one initially, that was even more difficult to access):

This cupboard is designed as a computer center, with a power outlet at the back:

A pull-out shelf for a printer:

And a keyboard tray:

But while we had originally intended to use it as my workstation, I find it more comfortable to sit on my living room chair with my laptop on a lap tray. So it is a convenient place for our alcohol.

It gets a bit warm in there when the sun is beating on that exterior wall, so I added some Reflectix insulation to the back wall:

The Reflectix is attached with aluminum foil tape:

I spent quite some time searching for a wine rack that would fit on the bottom shelf (and tried a modular one, that didn’t work out for depth reasons). I finally found one that fits well:

Here it is in place. The bottles on the right are too tall to fit in the rack, but fortunately the shelf has extra depth on that side:

The bottles are held securely, in a way where they won’t rattle, and being on their side is best to keep the corks moist:

For the liquor bottles, my idea was to get some dividers to keep them separated and supported upright:

I also removed the keyboard tray from the top of the cupboard, to give the bottles more vertical space.

Here are the dividers in place; not perfect, but gives some structure:

To stop the bottles moving around too much, I added some bubblewrap padding:

The final result; nice and tidy, and easy to access:
