What materials are used to build each wine rack?

We use hand-selected premium grade pine which is pre-planed to remove grading ink. Brass trim washers and hardened wood screws ensure a sturdy construction.

What is the best size to buy if I am just starting my wine collection?

We recommend the 54 bottle rack to someone just starting a collection. This size can fit in a small closet or a corner and will store 4 and a half cases. When you find the perfect chardonnay, merlot or cabernet, you can feel good about having room for 6 or 9 bottles alone on their own individual row of the rack and not be concerned about running out of room. Be certain to choose a spot out of the sun and in a cool dark corner, especially out of the way of the sun.

What tops are available for my wine rack?

We can top the rack off with a plywood board, a glass top or a custom wood board with rounded edges.

How do I get a quote for a custom design and build?

If you have a room in your house that needs a few racks to create a cellar, we can do a full wine room design. We have done an old coal bin room in an antique house with wine racks lined around the room and one large, 99 bottle rack with custom covey to hold the wine glasses and wine key. Call us or email your dimensions and desired bottle count and we can start with a design just for your corner or room.

Can I have a wine rack shipped?

Yes, we have freight rates available based upon location.

How can I expand to create my own wine cellar?

A wine cellar is a good investment in your wine collection and in your home or second home. To lay some bottles down to store for a longer period of time, a cellar is the perfect spot. The temperature is more controlled, and the humidity level can be modified separately from the remainder of the house. With simple stick frame construction and some insulation, most homes in the northern climes can accommodate a small room in the lower level. We recommend a room on the north side or east side of the building with two outside walls. The inside walls should be insulated at the upper level, above 14” from the floor, to keep the warm air outside of the room away from the cellar. Insulate the ceiling as well, with a simple drop ceiling to act as an insulating barrier.

If you intend to lay down some bottles for several years, perhaps your second home is the perfect spot. A lot of people do most of their entertaining at their second home and could use a wine cellar to store those special bottles.

Let us know if we can help with the design of the room or if you need a construction crew. We may have come across someone in your area with a similar issue and would recommend a contractor.
