Yeah, that was something I wasn't happy about with my idea, but I figured it
wouldn't be so bad if you made sure the hollow-up tiles were covered with
conveniently-placed wine bottles. Fortunately, it's actually possible to leave
open smooth-up tiles when you use the 5-stud bricks instead of the new 3-studs.
Another possible variant on your design would be to use 1x1 TECHNIC bricks with
stud-pins instead of headlight bricks. That would take care of the problem of
not being able to attach the bottles to studs, though it might not be as
structurally sound.

No problem. Until those 3-studs get released in greater quantities, I'm
thinking that version is effectively off-limits for those with smaller pockets,
but your version and my 5-stud version should be fairly simple to produce.

I don't think it'd be too difficult to pull off. After all, if you want taller
racks, you can always flip the design up on end and build more skinny sections,
and there really shouldn't be any limit to how long you can extend it in one
direction.
