Ken’s cases are the best I’ve seen, with dazzling back lighting that makes the bottles visually “leap” off the shelves. Yeah, ok, poor choice of words in earthquake country!
Ken Edward’s bottle display cabinets are really fine pieces of furniture. His lighting system for portraying accurate bottle colors is phenomenal. The best side benefit is that the character of the glass is easily seen when bottles are displayed in these cabinets.
