How To Choose The Right Wine Rack

Wine racks carry bottles securely in a horizontal position, in as dense an arrangement as possible. Wine racks vary in shape, size, color and design. They use the simplicity, elegance, and beauty designs which will fit in any room. Wine racks can be individual cells of timber, steel, or plastic, simple shelving or diamond-shaped bins. Below is some tips on choosing wine racks for your home.

Before buying wine rack, it is important to decide its functionality. If you just need wine rack to store a few bottles of wine, a hanging wine rack would be the best choice. If you need a wine rack to store many bottles of wine, then a large standing wine rack is better.

1. It is important to ask how many bottles you're going to store and when you're going to drink them.

- If you have a dozen bottles, ready for drinking within a month or two, then all you may need is a wine rack that sits on the floor in a closet somewhere on the north side of the house.

- If you are a serious collector and want to store your wines for more than a year to maybe ten years, then you may need modular wine racks that hold hundreds of bottles of wine. A cellar or converted cellar measuring less than 3 meters square will easily hold 100 dozen bottle bottles or wine.

2. The second most important question is where are you going to put your wine racks? The best place for wine storage is a cellar or cellar-like place that is dim, cool, and stable in temperature and movement, slightly humid and with few odors. The worst place would be the top of the fridge where you get vibration, constantly changing temperature, heat from the kitchen and constant exposure to light.

In most modern homes the cellar-like place can be a large closet, a walk-in wine pantry, space under a stairway, a specially constructed and insulated room with wine racks and wine cellar cooling systems, or even a converted corner of the garage.
