Wine racks are an essential accessory for any wine enthusiast wanting to showcase their wine whilst preserving their collection. Having the correct wine storage solution is an absolute must for keeping your wine in the correct environment and in a safe space.
They allow your wine collection to age gracefully, retaining its flavours and aroma, whilst also keeping the cork moist - which is important when preserving your favourite wine.
If you're looking for an aesthetically pleasing way to complete your decor whilst also keeping your wines organised for long-term storage, you are in the right place.
The Types of Wine Racks Available:
There are a range of wine racks available. From metal to wood, and from integrated to free-standing, the choices are endless and you will be sure to find the perfect option to match your interior style and suit your personal needs.
Metal Wine Racks
Metal wine racks are a strong and sturdy storage solution for your wine. Our metal wine racks are easy to install and a great value for money when trying to maintain the quality of your wine collection.
Wooden Wine Racks
Wooden wine racks are a great choice for those who want a more traditional feel yet still wish for the sturdiness of the metallic variant. It is down to personal preference and style when choosing which wine rack will be the perfect addition to your home.
They can add warmth to your space and are a versatile choice as they come in all different sizes, styles, woods and finishes.
Wall Mounted Wine Racks
This is the perfect option if you’re looking to add some personality to a blank wall, or you have limited floor space. Wall-mounted wine racks can hold various amounts of bottles whilst adding a decorative touch to your space.
They are a great feature wall option and will keep your wines in the perfect horizontal position so that they fully develop the best possible taste without any disruption.
Built-in Wine Racks
Built-in wine racks are integrated into a space to add a touch of uniqueness. They can be custom-built into your cellar space, or your kitchen island. The choice is yours. These will give your home a luxury feel, the perfect option for wine storage.
Where To Place My Wine Rack:
There are a variety of places you may choose to store your wine, whether that be a kitchen for those who enjoy a bottle on hand for cooking or casual drinking.
Likewise, installing a rack in your dining room can add a touch of elegance to evening mealtime. If you have a dedicated wine cellar or basement storage for your wine, then this could also be the perfect place for your wine rack.
Ultimately, it is up to you and the space you have where you put your wine rack. Some of the factors you should consider before choosing a spot include:
Temperature
Wine should be stored at a consistent temperature. Avoid placing your wine rack in areas that may experience temperature fluctuations.
For example, a conservatory may be cold in the morning but hot on a spring afternoon. Avoid places near ovens, radiators or windows that attract direct sunlight.
Humidity
Avoid placing your wine rack in high-humidity areas, as this can affect the cork in your bottles, ultimately leading to oxygen entering your bottles and jeopardising the taste of the wine and the way that the wine ages.
If the humidity levels are too high, this can cause the cork to dry out and shrink. That is why the humidity levels in your wine storage area are controlled.
Accessibility
Consider how often you will need access to your wine. If you use it a few times a week, consider placing it in a more accessible location, like a kitchen or dining room. If you only enjoy a glass every so often and don't need your wine rack on show, select a more out-of-the-way spot like a cellar or basement.
Choosing the Perfect Wine Rack
Complete your home with a touch of luxury with one of our luxury wine racks. We stock only the best quality brands for our customers, so you can have peace of mind that your precious bottles will be stored in the very best way. Let's take a look at some of the factors you should consider when buying a wine rack:
The Size of Your Wine Collection
The size of your collection plays a huge role in the size of the wine rack you will need (of course) but are you planning to grow your collection?
Make sure there is enough space on your chosen wine rack for your current bottles and space to accommodate any new bottles you may want to add.
Your Space Availability
Where will you be placing your wine rack? Ensure the space has enough room and that the bottles will be safe to be stored there, away from direct sunlight as harmful UV rays can damage your bottles.
Your Personal Style
Your personal style and the aesthetic of the interior. Choose materials that will go with your current theme. Will your home suit wood or metal more? Will a built-in wine rack be the perfect addition to your kitchen or will it make it too crowded?
Before deciding on a wine rack, plan out what it will look like in your chosen space first to make sure you are elevating your home in the most luxurious way possible.
