Wine Rack

Project by Triman posted 264 days ago 594 views 4 times favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

After promising my Wife a new wine rack for 2 months, I finally finished it! I just used inexpensive knotty pine and painted with a black satin paint. I faced some of the surfaces with 1/4” thick zebrawood. I also used zebrawood for the drawer fronts and the top edge that holds the upper bottles in place. I then used 1.5” by 3.5” pine for the upper bottle stands. I left the 11 stands loose, so that my Wife can remove them as she wants, in case she decides to add some sort of art piece on the top shelf (pottery, vase, etc.). The tiny room is in our basement, so I made it to fit in modules, then had to assemble it inside the “wine room”. 134 pieces of wood, and 124 router dadoes, and it’s all done!

looks good, now the challenge is to keep it filled. Somehow my wine rack keeps getting empty.

I need to make somewhere temperature controlled to keep my wine… Considering a small shed outside or something similar.

I like the pulls. You’re a lucky guy. I would love a cabinet like this. I notice five empty cubes. Were these part of the “materials” used?

Nice job but with one question . Aren’t the corks supposed to be pointing downward to stay moist , or do you have the good stuff with plastic stoppers or screw off caps like me ? LOL

Well, it’s a continuing “struggle”, but being close to Napa, we’re managing to keep our supply more than adequate. The rack looks better with plenty of stock, so that keeps us motivated to replenish on a regular basis. The 2 “bins” are angled just enough to keep the corks wet, and that’s also where we keep the less expensive wine for day-to-day consumption. The cubicles and the top shelf are reserved for the “good” stuff!

BTW – Believe it or not, some premium wineries are now going to screw caps. I know that they make a lot of sense, but it’s just not the same as puling a cork.
