Wine Rack Kits and Plans


Properly storing wine keeps flavor and lets wine age so that you can taste its evolving, complex flavor. Buying a wine rack, however, can be pricey, especially for someone who is more interested in developing a robust wine collection, not decorating.

Properly storing wine keeps flavor and lets wine age so that you can taste its evolving, complex flavor. Buying a wine rack, however, can be pricey, especially for someone who is more interested in developing a robust wine collection, not decorating.

Before you begin construction, plan where you will put the wine rack. Storing the wine in the right environment is crucial to its flavor. Always store wine in a cool, dark, and slightly humid area. Never store wine in the sun or in the heat. It will cook the wine and ruin its flavor. Keep the temperature between 50 and 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Store the wine on its side so it keeps the cork moist.

Wine rack kits let you grow your wine collection piece by piece. Wall-mounted wine racks let you store nine to 36 bottles on one shelf. Wall-mounted metal wine racks make it easy to see the label of each bottle. Expect to pay between $50 and $100 for each shelf. Dont be afraid to ask the retailer for a discount if you buy many shelves at once. You can also buy matching wine islands so that you can store wine and have a tabletop in your wine cellar. Look online for the best selection.

Build your own wine rack for the lowest cost. Free plans are on the Internet, and youll probably need at least a table saw or jigsaw, a sander, and drill press. For simple projects, you can expect to pay less than $10 for equipment.

Probably the cheapest, but most effective wine rack you can build uses brick and wood planks. Stack the bricks for height, and use wooden planks with smaller wooden dividers for an easy-to-make wine rack.

Metrokane Houdini Expandable Wine Rack

Made from high-tensile-strength wire bonded to super-strong plastic, the Houdini wine rack looks more like a scientific model than a place to store Bordeaux. Nevertheless, anyone who's struggled with inexpensive, Tinkertoy-flimsy wooden racks will appreciate its exceptional structural stability and strength. Tests prove that each Houdini rack can bear up to three times the weight it's designed to hold. Plus, this rack’s modular. Connect multiple racks as your collection grows, snapping them together via special, enclosed clips to form any configuration you choose. Metrokane’s innovative, space-saving design stores more bottles than most any other rack, and enables the piece to fit tight spaces such as refrigerators or cabinet shelves. This expandable wine rack folds flat for storage, and arrives fully assembled. --Mary Park

Customer Review: Exactly what I needed

The Metrokane expandable wine rack is just perfect for the space I have in a cabinet. I bought 3 of them and they adjusted to exactly fit the space. They are a bit pricey but definitely worth it for what I needed.

Customer Review: No regrets!

Absolutely wonderful! I can't believe how sturdy it is!



This is a must buy! Don't settle for anything else!

A few weekends ago my girlfriend and I celebrated my birthday by enjoying a delicious Sunday brunch buffet at the Prince Court in the Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki. Upon entering the lobby on the ground floor, hang a right where the escalators are… The banquet rooms and this restaurant are located on the third floor.

Feed the Masses - Or Least a Few Friends

Ah, the dinner party. We all have these notions of Sunday roast beef, white tableclothes and people making small talk with drinks while the over-ambitious appetizers burn in the oven 20 minutes past the time they were supposed to be done. Or maybe I’m being pessimistic… At any rate it certainly doesn’t have to play out that way. Having a few friends over for dinner shouldn’t be all that complicated, and you can certainly pull it off. If you keep it simple. The first concern is the guest list

Roast Pork, Banoffee Pie and Black Sesame Cupcake Cones: Dinner Party at Mine

Stomach's Eleven were on the move, and this time it was my turn to host our travelling dinner party. I don't naturally like organising, but I do hate being stressed, which is why everyone always laughs when they spot the usual "dinner party to-do schedule" on my fridge. But planning ahead does pay off. It means I can cook certain dishes or elements thereof a few days beforehand, and there's less chance of shrieking "oh my god I forgot about the _____" in the half-hour before guests arrive. I'v

The other night President Obama threw a party for congressional members and staffers that have been “working so hard” he felt that there needed to be some social time. Said the prez : We also know that we’re not always going to agree on everything, but given how hard so many of you are working on both sides of the aisle — day in, day out — we thought it was important for us to step back for a moment, remind ourselves that we have things in common — family, friends, laughter — and hopefully
