Everything You Need to Know About Wine Racks
An appreciation for fine wines can be a rewarding companion throughout one's life. With an entire globe of variety and endless space for debate, refining your taste can be one of life's unique pleasures.
But merely possessing wine is not enough. A personal wine collection ought to be displayed in a manner befitting the fine grapes collected therein.
Enter the wine rack. A good rack keeps your bottles organized - for presentation and easy selection.
Preservation factor
It also preserves your bottles from the elements, maintaining proper temperature and bottle angle (storing your bottles vertically allows the corks to dry; a big problem for long-term storage).
This blog will elucidate the qualities of good wine racks, their differences, and where you can start your search.
What are the best wine racks?
The best wine rack is the one tailored to your collection. Wine rack kits also come with glass storage and a space for your wine key and re-corker, allowing you to hold everything you need to enjoy your wine in the same place.
For the avid and dedicated collector, you'll need a large and accommodating wine rack, something that can hold many bottles and allow you to organize them.

Are wood or metal wine racks better?
This is a matter of personal preference, determined by the style of your house.
A matter of feelings
Different customers will prefer wood or metal - do you want to create a rustic, warm feeling? Or should your display proclaim minimalism and efficiency?
There are as many styles of cellars as there are cellar-owners, and over time your personal stock will feel as intimate as your fingerprint.
Interior considerations
Evaluate your existing decor. Do you want to play into the existing theme (sleek and metal, refined and wooden, etc.), or perhaps make your wine racks an interesting counterpoint?
Where is the best place to put a wine rack?
This will depend, of course, on the nature of your space.
If you have a wine cellar, it's no secret where the rack belongs. But if you, like most of us, are using limited space to its fullest potential, wine rack placement can be a puzzling question.
Guiding query
Ask yourself: where do I like to drink my wine? Placing your rack in a common or living space can achieve both convenience - your bottles and glasses within reach when entertaining - and the chic presentation of your collection. A great conversation starter!
