Wine Rack Kits and Plans

Properly storing wine keeps flavor and lets wine age so that you can taste its evolving, complex flavor. Buying a wine rack, however, can be pricey, especially for someone who is more interested in developing a robust wine collection, not decorating.

Properly storing wine keeps flavor and lets wine age so that you can taste its evolving, complex flavor. Buying a wine rack, however, can be pricey, especially for someone who is more interested in developing a robust wine collection, not decorating.

Before you begin construction, plan where you will put the wine rack. Storing the wine in the right environment is crucial to its flavor. Always store wine in a cool, dark, and slightly humid area. Never store wine in the sun or in the heat. It will cook the wine and ruin its flavor. Keep the temperature between 50 and 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Store the wine on its side so it keeps the cork moist.

Wine rack kits let you grow your wine collection piece by piece. Wall-mounted wine racks let you store nine to 36 bottles on one shelf. Wall-mounted metal wine racks make it easy to see the label of each bottle. Expect to pay between $50 and $100 for each shelf. Dont be afraid to ask the retailer for a discount if you buy many shelves at once. You can also buy matching wine islands so that you can store wine and have a tabletop in your wine cellar. Look online for the best selection.

Build your own wine rack for the lowest cost. Free plans are on the Internet, and youll probably need at least a table saw or jigsaw, a sander, and drill press. For simple projects, you can expect to pay less than $10 for equipment.

Probably the cheapest, but most effective wine rack you can build uses brick and wood planks. Stack the bricks for height, and use wooden planks with smaller wooden dividers for an easy-to-make wine rack.

A Look at Wine Glass Racks

Any wine collection is not complete without a collection of wine glasses with which to drink the wine. Wine glass racks can store your stemware easily and elegantly. Not only will a wine glass rack save cabinet space, but it will also help keep the wine glasses dust-free.

Any wine collection is not complete without a collection of wine glasses with which to drink the wine. Wine glass racks can store your stemware easily and elegantly. Not only will a wine glass rack save cabinet space, but it will also help keep the wine glasses dust-free.

For a small wine and wine glass collection, consider buying a wine rack and glass combination. These cost under $50 and hold around six bottles of wine and a modest wine glass collection. Serious wine collectors should avoid hanging the rack in the kitchen because wine should be kept in cool, dark areas without strong odors. By the way, you should never store wine on a refrigerator. It spoils the wine.

Separate wine glass racks are more practical for wine collectors who have a large collection of wine glasses and want to keep them separate from the wine. Simple wood racks are available to attach underneath a kitchen cabinet. They hold around 20 glasses and cost under $25.

More elaborate wine glass racks can be displayed. Metal racks with grape designs are appropriate for most dcors. Many have shelves above the wine glass racks. You could store accessories here like collector glasses, wine buckets, cozies, a cork collection, or bottle openers. Many cost under $50, but a steel, contemporary wine glass rack can cost over $100.

Online wine cellar suppliers sell wine glass racks with their wine storage collections. These let you design your own storage system with wine racks, tabletops for tasting wine, and wine glass racks.

Specialty wine suppliers sell many wine glass racks, but you can also buy them from chain home stores and organizational stores. Dont be afraid to buy a cheap wine glass rack and then customize it with paint or detailing.
