The 10 Best Wall-Mounted Wine Racks

Editor's Notes

April 27, 2020:

There are many reasons for wine lovers to keep a healthy selection on their property. They may have some nice vintages that require aging; they might entertain friends at home more often, rather than go out; or, perhaps, they simply don’t want to run out of their favorite tipple.

Whatever your reasons for keeping several bottles on hand, wall-mounted wine racks are a good solution for storing a moderately-sized collection, as, unlike their floor-standing counterpart, they can only bear a limited amount of weight. There are some exceptions, such as the Stact Oak, where several units can be tiled together upon the wall to create a much larger expanse of racks, and the size is only limited by the amount of wall space available.

Wall-mounted wine racks are not only functional, but also decorative, and can add to the decor of your home, just as a piece of artwork or an ornament might. This is especially true of the J&J Wire Vertical, with its twisting grapevine design, or the Firstime & Co. Barn Door, with its weather-beaten aesthetic.

It’s important to bear in mind the type of wall you wish to fix your rack to. If, for instance, you are screwing to drywall, then a rack with just two anchor points, such as the RiteSune Home & Kitchen, would require the correct fixings as 12 standard bottles weigh approximately 20 pounds. The same goes for larger racks such as the Industrial Wine Racks Rustic Metal, as its precious contents must be securely fastened to the wall and stand no chance of falling.
