Choosing the Right Wine Racks for Your Wine Cellar with the Help of Experts

Are you searching for a wine rack but are indecisive on what type to choose? Then, let us help you select a wine storage system that will suit your needs. Wine racks are intended not only to store wines but also to organize them in a more efficient and aesthetically appealing way.

Wine racks vary in size, storage capacity, design, and building material used. The two most popular materials are wood and metal. Let us compare wood and metal wine racks to help you determine which one suits your storage needs.

Some wine collectors prefer a traditional wine cellar; others go for a modern wine room, while some want a transitional wine cellar. Here are the different styles of wine cellar racks and tips when to use them.

Metal Wine Racks for Modern Wine Cellars

Nowadays, modern wine rooms are increasing in popularity. Choose metal wine racks if you…

• Want versatility in shapes and styles
• Desire color variations
• Have a short-term wine storage goal
• Wish to focus more on display options
• Prefer a more contemporary style

Metal wine racks are more unique compared to wood wine racks when it comes to shape and style variations. More flowing and curved shapes can be created with metal, but it is not easy to handle or work with, unlike wood. Metal wine racks usually have a lesser bottle storage capacity. They are durable, but when they break, they are more difficult to restore.

Another very good feature of metal wine racks is that they can be easily painted. You just have to be careful when choosing a painted metal wine rack, as you need to make sure that the paint used is chip resistant if you want the color to last very long. If your home is contemporary style inspired, then metal wine racks are the best option for you.

At Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, we offer various types of metal wine racks from different manufacturers. One of them is VintageView, one of the top-notch metal wine rack manufacturers in the US.

VintageView Wine Racks for a Contemporary Wine Display

VintageView is popular for its modern wine storage systems, which are designed to offer benefits both for residential and commercial applications. VintageView wine cellar racks have advantages over other metal wine storage units because of their installation flexibility, durability, and stylish options.

Evolution Series

VintageView’s Evolution Series are freestanding wine racks, which we recommend for wine cellars where space is not limited because they occupy floor space. They are available in various depths (single, double, and triple) and heights (up to 10 feet) to fit your space and maximize the room’s capacity.

Case and Crate Series Wine Racks

If you are storing wines in bulk in your home, wine store, or dining establishment, VintageView’s Case and Crate Series bins are ideal for you. You may opt for lockers to secure your bottles.

Wall-Mounted Wine Racks

The Wall Series wine racks are perfect for constructions where the room to be utilized is a small walk-in closet, an area in your apartment, or any tiny or narrow space. Since the wine racks are mounted on the wall, no floor space will be occupied.

Wood Wine Racks for Traditional Wine Cellars

Wood is still a favorite of many homeowners for many reasons. Choose wood wine racks if you…

• Want more customization options
• Have long-term wine storage in mind
• Plan to store wines in bulk
• Give high importance to stability
• Desire stained or lacquer finished furniture
• Have a climate control system installed inside the wine room
• Prefer a traditional style

Wood wine racks offer great customization options, which means that you can purchase an average size wine rack and can later add more storage space if needed by installing an extra wine bin, wine cubicle, or another wine rack with a different style.

They are ideal for long-term wine storage because of the remarkable durability of wood. Among the most durable wood species are redwood, mahogany, pine, and alder. Certain naturally occurring wood properties make these woods ideal for wine storage.

If you have quite a large wine collection, no other type of wine rack can house them as well as wooden wine racks. Their structural stability is exceptional in that they can hold anywhere from several hundred to several thousand bottles of wine.

In addition, wood wine racks are more adaptable to the environment of a wine cellar where a climate control or wine cellar cooling system exists. For bulk wine storage, you have options like double deep wine racks, wine bins, stackable wine racks, and a lot more!

Since wood has the ability to absorb stains well, wooden wine racks can be stained with different types of wood stains and may be finished with lacquer for a glossier surface.

Wood wine racks are perfect for those who want to give their wine storage and display area a touch of traditional style. Furthermore, wooden wine racks can easily be matched with the other wooden furniture you already have at home.

Whichever type of wine rack you choose, just remember that the quality and proper aging of your wines are the most important considerations to keep in mind.

Kit Wood Wine Racks

At Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, our kit or premade wine racks are recommended for a growing wine collection. We will combine different racking styles to give your traditional wine cellar a custom look. We have stackable wine racks that allow you to increase the capacity of your racking system.

Custom Wood Wine Racks

If you want to personalize the design of your racking system, customizing your wine racks is the best option. Although it is more expensive than pre-made wine racks, it will allow you to add features that can add aesthetic appeal and functionality to your wine cellar.
