[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 126145, member: 301"]I never said anything about picking up the bottle......it's for placing the bottle in...sitting on a table to stop any drops from staining the tablecloth. or at least that's what my Mom used it for...& my aunt , during the holidays when they laid out their fancy tablecloths. While I can't speak to the handle other than decoration.....several types do have double handles...but only a fool would try to pick up the tray using the handles with a bottle of wine still in the tray.....it would fall out.. So your take on Double Handles is IMO, nonsense .
