Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wine rack according to my new design;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view thereof; and,

FIG. 4 is a top plan view thereof.

The right side elevational view of the design is a mirror image of the left side elevational view, so the right side view has been omitted.

The bottom plan view of the design is a mirror image of the top plan view, so the bottom plan view has been omitted.

Portions of the drawings depicted in broken lines are intended to illustrate the environment of the design for illustrative purposes only, and form no part of the claimed design.

Claims

The ornamental design for a wine rack, as shown and described.
