Ready to organize your wine collection?

As anyone who\u2019s ever shopped for one can tell you, wine racks come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. Depending on the use, they may be utterly functional and non-decorative or ready for prime time in your living or dining room. With the multitude of wine racks available, it can be confusing to know what you need, why you need it, and where you should put it. That\u2019s where we come in!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep scrolling for details about just about every type of wine rack on the market, along with tips about wine storage<\/a> in general. If you\u2019re deciding between a tabletop, freestanding, stackable, or wall-mounted wine rack, you\u2019re in luck! By the end of this article, you\u2019ll have more details about the benefits of each and be armed with the insight you need to move forward.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wine Rack vs. Wine Cabinet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first order of business is to consider the\ndifferences between a wine rack and a wine cabinet. While both serve the same purpose,\nto organize and stow standard-sized wine bottles horizontally, a wine rack is generally meant to display <\/em>a collection and a wine cabinet is meant to store<\/em> a collection. Wine racks allow\nhosts to easily access their bottles for serving, while wine cabinets oftentimes feature doors to keep the wine mostly\nor completely out of sight. (Of course, wine bar\ncabinets are a bit different as they combine both the serving and bulk\nstorage aspect.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both traditional wine racks and cabinets come\nin a wide variety of capacities from extremely small and suitable for only a\nfew bottles to large capacity for serious collectors. Many of our wine storage\ncustomers use unfinished wooden wine racks substantial\nenough to hold 100 bottles \u2013 or more. Regardless of whether you choose a wine rack or a wine\nstorage cabinet, consider the size of your current wine collection and\nhow much you think it will grow in the near \u2013 or far \u2013 future. Many wine racks are modular in nature, meaning you can\nadd on to them as your holdings expand. If you expect that this might be the\ncase, they might be your best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When considering between a wine rack and a\nwine cabinet, you\u2019ll also need to consider where the piece will go in your\nhome. Experts agree that the best temperature for most red and white wines is\nbetween 45\u00b0F (7\u00b0C) and 65\u00b0F (18\u00b0C) with a humidity level between 50% and 80%.\nBe sure that wherever you\u2019re putting your wine is also relatively\nvibration-free and out of direct sunlight or strong artificial light. While\ndark wine bottles can provide a bit of protection from UV rays, it\u2019s still best\nto store wine in a dark spot with ventilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it may be tempting to put your wine\nwhere you find most convenient, proper wine storage<\/a> will allow you to enjoy that cabernet\nsauvignon or pinot noir as it was meant to be enjoyed when you open the bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top\nTypes of Wine Racks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Angular Built-Ins <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We love the idea of a built-in wine rack, and the crisscrossed pattern on the one above manages to be both minimal and extremely eye-catching. Paint it a different color than the surrounding area for a \u201cpop of color\u201d that draws even more attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Wall-Mounted Wine Rack <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Wine<\/a>

Attaching your wine rack to the wall gives it importance in your overall design scheme \u2013 and frees up counters and floors for other items. Pay close attention to what weight your rack is rated for and be sure to attach it to the wall studs. A rack full of wine crashing to the floor is not anyone\u2019s idea of a good time. Check out this great piece from Wine Racks America<\/a> with step-by-step instructions for attaching a wall-mounted wine rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Tabletop Wine Racks <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Tabletop<\/a>

Portable, functional, and frequently decorative, tabletop wine racks are perfect for anyone who wants immediate access to their wine and has a relatively small collection \u2013 or at least a small collection on display. Think of this as the wine rack for your daily or weekly wines. Anything you want to store for a longer period of time would probably better be served in a wine cabinet. If you do choose a tabletop wine rack, think carefully about location. If you can tuck it away on a sideboard or shelf, you\u2019ll be better served than leaving it on a kitchen counter or in some other highly trafficked, brightly lit area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Wooden Wine Racks <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Wooden<\/a>

While wooden wine racks could theoretically come in any style, the most popular are highly functional and a bit \u201cindustrial chic.\u201d While these are typically thought of as a best choice for long-term wine storage in a cellar or wine storage unit, as mentioned above, they can also work for anyone in search of a minimalist way to showcase bottles in their living spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Rustic \u201cOld World\u201d Wine Racks <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of wooden wine racks coming in different styles, let us introduce you to the pupitre<\/em> \u2013 or riddling rack \u2013 method of wine storage. A riddling rack, which is essentially a wooden board of some sort with holes in it, is traditionally used to age champagne. Over time, winemakers turn the bottles until all of the sediment is in the neck of the bottle. Today, retailers sell imitation riddling racks for wine storage though you can sometimes get your hands on a real one at an auction or antique store. Regardless of its origin, a riddling rack can be an interesting and unique addition to your home d\u00e9cor \u2013 and a great wine rack, to boot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know all the ins and outs of wine racks (and wine storage in general), we hope you\u2019re ready to confidently take the next step into wine collecting, storing, and enjoying. If you\u2019re feeling handy, check out all the DIY wine rack videos<\/a> on YouTube. With a few tools and a little elbow grease, you\u2019ll be popping celebratory corks before you know it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
