INDEX TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
       [0001]    This application is a non-provisional of and claims benefit to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/161,904 filed May 15, 2015 the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
     
    
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    As generally understood, the present invention provides a mounting peg system that provides for increased storage of wine bottles in a wine cellar. 
         [0003]    The mounting peg systems are provided in pairs and hold a single wine bottle in the curvature of the distal end of the peg person when persons want to expand their storage capability they can provide either double or triple peg mountings as desired. 
         [0004]    It is further contemplated in one embodiment of the present invention that the wall mounting will not attach to the actual wall of a room but will be provided as a secondary item that further can be attached to the wall. 
         [0005]    In one embodiment, this is a secondary piece of wood, plywood, or other such article. 
         [0006]    In one embodiment, the present invention is a bottle storage system comprising: 
         [0000]    a mounting surface constructed and arranged with a plurality of receiving cavities;
 
a support peg constructed and arranged to attach to said mounting surface, said peg having a proximal end for mounting and a distal end with a convex curvature constructed and arranged for use in pairs and holding a bottle thereon.
 
         [0007]    In one embodiment, the support peg has a convex curved surface, whereby the minimum diameter of the convex surface is approximately between 30-70% the diameter of the non convex surface. 
         [0008]    In one embodiment, two support pegs are connected end to end utilizing a peg connector and said two connected support pegs attached to said mounting surface in a single receiving cavity. In one embodiment, each convex curved surface is formed with an angular offset relative to a vertical plane perpendicular having a measurement between approximately 95 and 110°. 
         [0009]    In one embodiment, the two pegs are of substantially congruent lengths. 
         [0010]    In one embodiment, the two pegs are of different lengths. 
         [0011]    Also contemplated is a method of storing bottles, said method comprising the steps of: 
         [0012]    providing a system as described herein; 
         [0013]    mounting at least two pegs on said mounting surface in successive complimentary positions; 
         [0014]    positioning a bottle in a substantially horizontal orientation on said two pegs whereby said bottle has a neck that is positioned to nest in the convex portion of one of the mounting pegs. 
         [0015]    The method includes using two or three end to end pegs and mounting two or three bottles on one pair of two peg systems as best seen in  FIG. 11 .

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
       [0027]    The present invention represents advancement in systems used for storing wine bottles. As generally understood, the system  12  includes a mounting peg  10  that is constructed and arranged to interact with a mounting screw  22  attached to mounting surface  20 . In one embodiment, mounting surface  20  is a mounting board or a mounting wall configured with receiving cavities  21  for receiving mounting screws  22 . 
         [0028]    Mounting peg  10  includes a main body, which can be an elongated main body  36 , or a shortened main body  34 , each having a proximal, or mounting end  32  and a distal end  34 . Mounting and  32  is constructed and arranged with a receiving cavity  30  constructed and arranged to receive mounting screw  22  therein. Distal end  34  is similarly configured and screw  30  is either a connecting screw  38  or endcap  40 . 
         [0029]    Mounting peg  10  includes a distal or connecting end  34  constructed and arranged with a curved convex mounting surface  28  wherein said convex surface  28  when paired with a second peg provides for the support of wine bottles thereon. Distal or connecting and  34  has formed therein connecting cavity  30  that is constructed and arranged to receive a mounting peg from a subsequent mounting peg system  10  attached thereto. 
         [0030]    Distal or connecting end  34  is further constructed and arranged with an angular flange arrangement as demonstrated in each of the  FIGS. 3 and 5 . In a preferred embodiment, angle X is an obtuse angle, relative to a vertical plane, having a measurement between approximately 95 and 110°. 
         [0031]    In use, a user will be provided with mounting peg system  10  and secure system  10  onto a wall and attach a desired number and arrangement of mounting pegs  10  as desired. As shown in  FIG. 2 , successive complimentary positions  13  of cavities  21  are utilized for supporting a bottle  14  as shown. The successively positioned pegs are such that one peg or peg system supports the main part of the bottle body and the second of the successive pegs positioned supports the bottle neck portion by nesting the bottle neck in the convex curvature portion. 
         [0032]    In one embodiment, as shown in  FIG. 11 , two or three bottles are arranged on a single pair of successive mounting pegs. This allows for greater use of storage space than traditional wine racks or wine shelves. As seen in  FIG. 1 , the separated view of elongated main body  36  and shortened main body  34  demonstrate construction of a peg to hold two or three bottles. Although the figure shows the separated view of elongated main body  36  shortened main body  34 , any combination of two or more connected elongated main body  36 , or two or more shortened main body  34 , as well as combinations thereof are contemplated in the present invention. 
         [0033]    While the invention has been described in its preferred form or embodiment with some degree of particularity, it is understood that this description has been given only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction, fabrication, and use, including the combination and arrangement of parts, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
