Do you have to have corks in this to look right?

No not really! It looks good empty or 1/2 full. Ours is 1/2 full and it's fine. We enjoy it, it's pretty cool. Part of the fun is filling it slowly with the wine you consume.

You don't have to, no. The holes are kind of small and it would look good with sparkly paper kind of wadded up inside. The hole in the back is pretty big, so corks fall out, anyway.

Yes, the backs of the coasters are cork. I love these Thirstystones. This is my second set.

The cork is not secured but I think its big enough for it not to be lost. I havent had a problem so far.

No, just plain cork. However, once you place it in you drawers to correct measurements, you won't need adhesive. It will stay in place.

You might need some more sterilizer. Of course you will need bottles to put the wine in. Other than that you are pretty well set.

Cork is very secure. I have put water in them. It does slowly evaporate after several months, but no leakage. You could always seal around it with some type of glue/adhesive.

Depends on how you want it to look. In the picture it doesn't look like they used one. But I have a boxspring.

I bought an extra carboy, a bottle tree and a filter, but those are optional. I have no problem with the corker that comes with this kit. It works fine for the 2-3 kits a year that I do. I am a female and have no problem corking.

I think I have removed synthetic corks, they are getting so realistic I am not sure.I don't see why not.

The fridge has a light button on the outside control pannel. When the light is off i only see the edges of tbe metal racks and if the wine bottle had light colored foil over it's cork that is more visible- the front glass is slightly reflective without being too dark or gawdy. With the light on it's like looking straight into the fridge almost as if the door was not there at all. So in love with this fridge. (And it is 100% silent!)

It appears that they can though they nestle together better when stacked the horizontal direction. However, you can secure the vertical stackings of one on top of the other with one wine cork. (start saving some) There's a hole in each crate to insert the cork to connect them together for some stability. With extreme height...guessing 6 ft ish, you may have some issues with it's stability so you may want some sort of side support so they don't topple over to the side. I'm no engineer, but those are my thoughts. The company may offer a more exact opinion. Good luck!

I used these corks in the clear and cobalt blue wine bottles, BUT you will have to get one of those corkers to get them in, as they fit VERY tight. They do work though,, hope this helped a little.

You can but it will look a little odd. It can be put together without though and still function properly. Without the wine bottle holder piece it has a couple of wooden planks visible in the middle section. It wouldn't look bad though. Good luck

I would say no, JR. There are three racks, precisely measured for bottles of wine. Depending on the size of your beer bottle, you might be able to improvise!

Oh yes....my daughter used it "empty" while collecting the corks to finally fill it: she kept checking when to GLUE! when finally enough, she committed to glue them in :)

Nope. Gel is already in the corkcicle. Just pop it in the feezer and away you go.

Not sure, but I'd probably try gluing the tile to the cork. Then trim the cork with the razor or sharp knife using the tile is a guide edge.
