Exploring Different Types of Wine Racks
Buying wine racks for your home or business can be overwhelming. With so many choices, it's hard to decide which rack will work best for your collection.
The best wine rack depends on several factors, including your budget and how much space you can dedicate to your wine.
Essential Features of a Good Wine Rack
When shopping for a reliable wine rack, there are several features you should watch out for.
1. Is it sturdy? A good wine rack can handle the weight of your wine when it is fully loaded with bottles. Common materials for wine racks include wood, plastic, ceramic, acrylic, metal, and stone.
2. Weatherproof. While this particular feature may not be as important if you are using the wine rack inside your kitchen pantry, it is important if you are placing the rack inside a climate-controlled wine cellar. If you are adding racks to a wine cellar, select wine racks made from a material that can withstand colder temperatures and higher humidity.
3. Bottle position. Bottles should lay on their side so that the cork remains wet. Some wine racks will also hold the bottle with the neck facing the ground. This helps to sustain the seal of the bottle and prevent oxidization.
4. Pay attention to cubicle size. Most wine racks will fit a standard Bordeaux style bottle. If your collection includes unusual sizes such as magnums or splits, you will need to look for a specialized wine rack.
5. Assembly instructions. Select wine racks may require assembly. If you are not handy, plan to hire someone to assist you.
6. Installation considerations. If you rent, you may not want to mount wine racks to a wall and will need a freestanding option. If your space is smaller, you may seek a storage solution that maximizes vertical space.
7. Style. Lastly, consider the style of the space where you will be placing your wine rack. Do you want your wine rack to match the décor?
Now that you know what to look for let's explore some options available in the Vinotemp catalog.

Our Current Wine Rack Picks
Wall-Mounted Wine Racks
Wall-mounted wine racks have become increasingly popular because they are attractive and also save valuable floor space. Available in a single bottle and multiple bottle styles, wall-mounted wine racks are a great storage option for both seasoned and novice wine collectors. The significant advantage of this style of wine rack is that they are modular, which means you could potentially fill an entire wall with your wine collection and add more racks in the future as needed. Vinotemp's wall-mounted racks cradle each bottle in the horizontal position, which keeps the cork from drying out. Popular styles include the Acrylic Peg Wine Racks, Secure Hold Wine Pegs, and Epic Metal Wine Racks.
Tabletop Wine Racks
If you are renting or do not want to go through the steps of mounting a wine rack to the wall, a tabletop or countertop wine rack may be a good option. Many of Vinotemp's tabletop wine racks are modular, so you may add additional racks as your collection grows. Some of the most popular tabletop wine racks include stackable wine racks, modular wood wine racks, ceramic wine bottle holders, and snap and stack modular wine racks. Beautiful and functional, a tabletop wine rack is perfect for your kitchen, dining room, or home bar.
Black Metal Wine Racks
If the mood of your wine cellar or home is modern, moody, sleek, and stylish, then a black metal wine rack may be the perfect storage solution to match your décor. Black metal wine racks are available in a variety of styles and installations. Wall-mounted, peg wine racks and floor-to-ceiling wine racks are just a few of the styles available in black. Your wine collection will exude sophistication when stored on a black metal wine rack.
