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.
