The Benefits of Metal Wine Racks


The number of metal wine racks available may seem overwhelming, but by narrowing your search you can find your ideal metal wine rack quickly and easily.

The number of metal wine racks available may seem overwhelming, but by narrowing your search you can find your ideal metal wine rack quickly and easily.

Dont worry about how a wine rack will affect the wines flavor. Where you store your wine is far more important than how you store it. Wine should be kept in a consistently cool, dark, slightly humid place. Keep the temperature between 50 and 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat or light can cook the wine and spoil it. Store the wine horizontally so that the wine keeps the cork wet. Never put wine on top of the refrigerator -- it will ruin the wine. Find a place in your home to store your wine, and then shop for a wine rack that will fit there.

Also have an idea about how many bottles you would like to store. This will limit your search further. If you plan on expanding your collection over the years, buy a simple wire system so you can find additional pieces that match or coordinate over the years.

Metal wine racks have two advantages over wooden racks: the wines label is easy to see, and metal wine racks are more likely to fit in narrow spaces. If you will be storing your wine in a closet, under stairs, or in a hallway, metal wine racks are perfect.

Metal wine rack prices depend on size and quality of the metal. You can find decorative, small metal wine racks for under $50. Larger wine racks cost several hundreds of dollars, but you can invest in a wine rack that doubles as a table for wine accessories.

Wrought iron wine racks are some of the most traditional wine racks. They can be simple and elegant with clean lines, or gracefully curvy. Wine racks made from chrome or steel are prefect for modern dcors. Search the Internet for great deals on wine racks of a variety of styles and sizes.

The Advantages of Wall Wine Racks


Wall wine racks make it easy to store wine in tight spaces. Many wall wine racks are hanging wine racks. These can only hold a few wine bottles, but cost under $50 and have slots to hang stemware.

Wall wine racks make it easy to store wine in tight spaces. Many wall wine racks are hanging wine racks. These can only hold a few wine bottles, but cost under $50 and have slots to hang stemware.

Some, for about $20, can be attached under kitchen cabinets. One precaution: the kitchen is not the best place to store wines. Wines should be kept in cool, dark areas without strong odors.

Wall wine racks can easily be incorporated into wine cellars. Store wines that need less maturing time, or that you plan on drinking soon, in hanging wall wine racks. Line the walls with sturdy wine racks. You can attach wine racks together to create more space. Large wine racks are perfect for an expanding wine collection.

Make certain that your wall wine rack is firmly attached to wall studs, or else your whole wine collection could come crashing down!

Online storage system companies sell a variety of both metal and wood wall wine racks. Wood wine racks cost more to ship, however, because they weigh more. Be on the lookout for free shipping details.

You can also make your own simple wall wine rack for under $10. Youll need a table saw or jigsaw, a sander, a drill press, and about three hours. Look for free plans online.

Your wine storage system is not as important as where you store your wine. Never mount your wall wine rack in the sun or in the heat. This can cook the wine and spoil it. Always keep your wine in a dark, cool, slightly humid area. Basements, closets, and underneath stairs work well. A consistent environment is very important. Keep the temperature between 50 and 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Dont worry about the style of your wine rack. Worry about when you will have to drink the fantastic wines in your collection. Enjoy the wine collecting experience.

The Advantages of Wooden Wine Racks


Wood wine racks provide the best storage system for a large collection, cheaply and efficiently. They are easy to assemble, study, stackable, attractive and cost between $30 and $130. You can easily purchase more cubes as your collection expands. Ask for a discount if you buy more than one cube.

Wood wine racks provide the best storage system for a large collection, cheaply and efficiently. They are easy to assemble, study, stackable, attractive and cost between $30 and $130. You can easily purchase more cubes as your collection expands. Ask for a discount if you buy more than one cube.

Wooden wine racks can also double as table tops to hold all your wine accessories. Pine wine racks are the cheapest. Tabletop wine racks tend to hold 24, 36, or 48 bottles and cost between $50 and $100.

Many high-quality wooden wine racks can be used as furniture. Mahogany, redwood, and oak wine bars elegantly store your wines while giving you space to serve them in style. Most bars cost around $500 and can hold 50 to 100 bottles. If you buy online, shipping will cost around $100, so keep an eye out for free shipping deals. Wooden wine towers let you keep your wine organized and store glasses on shelves. They are ideal for tight spaces and may cost over $300, depending on quality.

If your wine collection is an investment, consider buying a wooden wine rack in a freestanding refrigerator. These keep your wines in a climate-controlled container, so you can display your wines in any environment. Expect to pay around $2,000.

How you store wine, however, is not as important as where you store wine. Any wine rack -- whether it is wood or metal, large or small -- should be kept in a cool, dark, slightly humid area. Keep a consistent temperature between 50 and 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Never put the wine rack in the sun or heat, which will cook and spoil the wine. Basements and closets make excellent storage spaces. Also keep a record of your wines so you know when to open a perfectly aged bottle.
