Wines and SpiritsWall Wine Racks Save Space in Tight Places
Finding a place to store your bottles of wine without subjecting it to conditions such as heat, light and humidity is often difficult when you have limited amounts of space in your home. Unfortunately we are all not lucky enough to have an abundant amount of space in our house, and often need to create ingenious ways to store many things. This includes wine racks. There are various styles of limited space wine racks that can be used for tight spaces, and a wall wine rack is just one of them.
Wall wine racks can vary from holding a couple of bottles of wine to more extensive triple deep units holding multiple bottles. A wall mounted wine rack is perfect for under a kitchen cabinet or on the wall in the kitchen or dining area. But I wouldnð€™t suggest putting it in your kitchen because itð€™s not the best spot for wines. Wines need to be kept cool; so a basement, cold storage room or proper wine cellar are the best spots. A kitchen can have drastic temperature changes due to cooking, so you may just want to keep a small wine rack in the kitchen and consume those bottles frequently to change over your selection.
When you install your wall mounted wine racks you should attach it to wall studs to be the most secure. You can purchase a stud finding tool at Lowes, Home Depot or local hardware store. You can find a how to video online to learn how to properly secure the rack to the wall.  There are also special fastening screws available to secure wall mounted racks when no stud is available but be sure to understand the weight load of these products. Â
The only real downfall to decorative wall wine racks is that itð€™s not for an extended amount of time as they are generally not hung in a climate controlled environment. Wall wine racks are just for bottles that you will drink sooner rather than later.  However, in the right environment you can also connect a few wall wine racks together for a larger collection, or add as you go for a growing collection.
Installing the wall wine rack in an area of your home that is out of direct sunlight, in a cool area of your home, and slightly humid would be the best thing to do. This could be in a closet in your home; this area of your home may offer a consistent environment and a dark area for your wine. Light, heat and humidity will all spoil your wine. A basement, or under a staircase are also good places to put your wall wine rack.
