In keeping with New Year’s resolution ideas, if you don’t have a wine rack, consider building one or purchasing one. Wine racks come in many styles and dimensions. If you are building your own, you can custom fit it in any space. I had a small space and built a simple square out of scrap wood. I then cut and made a half center groove in two other pieces of wood to form an “X” and placed the X in the center of the box. Each box holds about 12 wine bottles and I made several boxes which can stack on top of each other. This was a very simple wine storage device that was entirely made from scrap wood.

My brother-in-law salvaged a wine rack in need of repair. He custom fit the rack into a shelf storage area. The wood pieces of the rack had come unglued and he had to re-glue them. The result is a rack that can hold over 100 bottles and there is room even for magnums.

Several companies make wine racks. Some will custom fit your space and others provide modules that you purchase and piece together. Grotto Custom Wine Cellars & Cabinets has a complete line of units that can fit most areas. It is interesting to search their website for ideas.
