How To Choose The Best Wine Rack For Your Home

By: Jim Hofman
 

Wine lovers understand the form and function of a wine rack. Not only are wine racks a functional storage solution for a wine collection, they often serve as an important part of home decor. Wine racks are more handsome and stylish than ever, and various options exist when considering a purchase. Here are a few factors to consider.

When buying a wine rack, first ask yourself how many bottles you wish to store, and how many bottles you have on hand at one time. Since the spectrum of wine racks is expanding, you'll have various options, from table top wine racks to wine racks holding hundreds of wine bottles. You may even want to consider more than one wine rack if your collection is large.

Next, consider your home's decor and available space. Don't worry, there are functional and stylish wine racks available no matter your space availability or decor. Wine racks can be wall mounted, free standing, set on a table top, or as part of a larger piece of decorative furniture. A beautiful wine cabinet with multiple uses is a very stylish and refined addition to any home. So, you'll need to consider function vs. fashion and determine how much decorative emphasis you want your wine rack to provide.

Also consider the style and texture of your decor. Is your decor rustic, minimalist, country, or modern? You'll find that wine racks are available in numerous compositions. Would a rustic wooden wine rack fit best in your home, or a sleek brushed metal wine rack? It's up to you. Choose a wine rack that complements your home and adds a sense of your personal style.

Our personal preference is a wine rack that offers display and storage of other wine related items in addition to the wine bottles themselves. In essence, we like a focal point "wine center" with all our wine and wine accessories in one place. Numerous stylish options are available, with ample storage and display options for wine books, wine accessories, wine glasses, and even wine art.

Wooden wine racks are probably the most known and available wine racks option. Wooden wine racks are not only available in aged wood, but also polished oak and many other treated woods. Wooden wine racks are especially popular because they seem to evoke the atmosphere of a rustic, country winery.

Wine racks are available in numerous price points, from under $30 to several thousand dollars. Most wine collectors own more than one wine rack, both for storage and convenience reasons. We prefer one central wine storage center, and a smaller wine rack for some of our purchases on our U.S. wine trails travels.

With numerous styles and price points of wine racks available, your choices are varied. Have a little fun choosing your wine rack, just as you would choosing your wines. Wine is all about enjoyment, and your wine rack can add to your wine enjoyment and the stylish decor of your home.
