Home wine racks are specially designed for storing
bottles of wines in a horizontal position, to help  preserve
the quality of the wine. Storing your bottles in a wine rack is a great way
to prevent the corks from drying out. If this happens, the
cork can shrink and let air in, resulting in oxidization, which will spoil the
taste. Wine storage racks usually have separate compartments for holding individual
bottles, allowing gaps between each one to allow air to circulate. Ideally,
wines should be kept at a consistent temperature of around 55 degrees
farenheit, with a relative humidity of 70%, away from light.

If your wine collection is growing rapidly and you don't have
a wine cellar, then there is a huge choice of wine racking that's designed
for home use. If you'd like to keep a few everyday bottles within easy
reach, then wall mounted wine racks offer a solution. This type of rack is hung
on the wall, which saves space, and allows you to always have a couple of bottles
on display. Often, these racks come with built-in stemware holders, so you can
conveniently keep your glasses in the same place. Wall wine racks are generally
pretty cheap to buy, at around $40-$50.
Other types of rack include compact designs to fit
on a counter top, or stackable towers to place on the floor, whose
capacity can grow to meet your storage needs. Wooden wine racks are very popular,
made from all sorts of wood, including pine, oak or mahogany. For a more contemporary
look, a metal wine rack can be an attractive feature in itself, made from ornately
crafted iron, stainless steel, chrome or aluminum. Whatever the style of your
décor, there's sure to be a wine rack design that fits in perfectly and
provides you with a functional way to organize your wine collection.
Whether you're after a DIY self-assembly kit,
or a custom wine rack, online stores are full of all kinds of wine racks to
suit your budget and your wine storage requirements.
