Wine Rack Construction 

Get your wine organized and you will always have just the right bottle on hand.  You may think you are not a wine collector but what about that case of Malbec you picked up on your last trip to Argentina?  Remember the day you were in Trader Joe’s and went crazy with all the wines that were on sale?  A do-it-yourself wine rack construction is in order.

There are many different styles of wine rack kits available.  Many of them are modular and can be added to as your wine collection grows.  Locate a dark corner or closet where the temperature is relatively stable. (It isn’t critical, for most wines, only for the more delicate or long lived, investment-intended wines.) A constant 65 degrees is better than 55 – 75 degree swings.  Measure the area carefully.  You can look online at the various sites offering do-it-yourself racks for your wine rack construction.  See what is available for the space you are intending to use.

You will want a wine rack that offers the flexibility to store as many or as few bottles as you currently have.  Choose carefully.  You will want a wine rack that is practical, easy to assemble as well as nice looking.  There are as many types of wood as there are colors and styles.  Find one that fits in with home’s design.  There are countertop wine racks, decorative racks, stackable racks and corner wine storage.  As you can see there is something to fit every collector’s need.

You may also want to visit your local home improvement center before ordering online.  If you can pick up something local that may be better or more convenient. You may find you need more parts or pieces.  It is quicker to run down to the corner lumber yard than to wait for a delivery after talking to the customer service rep online.  You will also be able to possibly see what your completed wine rack construction will look like up close and personal.
