Wine Cellar Racking Using California Wine Cellar Racks 

Cellaring wines not only requires a proper storage environment wherein wines can age nicely, but also the right combination of wine racking systems that allow wine lovers to display, organize and manage their wine collection.  There are a wide range of California wine cellar racks available in different styles and configurations, that can accommodate various storage requirements and design preferences.

Custom wine cellar racking takes into account the architectural layout, design style, and size constraints of a wine cellar space.  Regardless of the size and height, this wine racking solution is custom-designed to fit the contours and adjust to the unique layout of a particular wine storage room.  Custom wine racks provide some of the most visually enticing wine displays that can create an appearance that is truly unparalleled and one of a kind.

Wooden Wine Racks – Custom and Kit Wine Rack Designs

An alternative storage solution to custom wine cellar racks are kit wine racks.  Wine rack kits come pre-designed, and are made out of different wood varieties, including mahogany, pine, and redwood.  Kit wooden wine racks are offered in 6 ft., 7ft., and 8 ft. heights.  They are available in a variety of components, such as single bottle storage racks, curved corners, diamond wine bins, wine bins, X-cube wine racks, and quarter round displays.

The single bottle wine cellar racking comes with a high reveal display shelf for highlighting favorite wine labels.  The display row pitches wine bottles to a 15 degree angle, that prominently displays the different labels stored along the shelf while keeping the cork moist at all times, thereby making an airtight seal on the bottle.

Single bottle racks have a 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ opening, that can fit all standard 750 ml wine bottles.

True radius curved corner racking is perfect for utilizing the corner spaces of a wine cellar.

Curved corner wooden wine racks with a true radius design don’t have a segmented appearance, because they are cut from a single piece of solid wood.  Hence, they create a beautiful and seamless transition from one wall to another.

Diamond wine bins, wine bins, and X-cube wine racks are specially designed for storing wines in bulk.

These bulk storage solutions are available in solid and lattice-style options.

Diamond wine bins are best for storing wine cases and large format bottles.  Wine bins are ideal for wood case storage.

Another way for consolidating wines into groups or certain varieties are X-cube bin wine cellar racks.

Quarter round displays make for a beautiful end piece to a wine racking system.  This storage solution is not only designed to hold wine bottles, but also to display ornaments and artistic pieces, as well as wine accoutrements such as decanters, wine glasses, and all other wine accessories that you want to add.

Quarter round wine racks are offered in solid and lattice-style options.

Custom wine racks and kit wine racks are available in double deep configurations.  With a depth of 23 inches, wine racking systems in double deep storage formats can accommodate two bottles in one opening.  This type of wine storage solution is designed to significantly increase the total bottle capacity of a wine cellar space, while maximizing the storage capacity.

There are several important features to look for when choosing wooden wine racks.  Make sure that the racks are built with dado stabilizer bars, which are responsible for enhancing the structural integrity of the racking frame.  The bottom part of California wine cellar racks should have a 1 1/2″ toe kick that elevates it off the floor, thus protecting wine bottles against unsteady movement, and possible breakage.  The edges should be sanded smooth to prevent scratches on the wine labels.

Metal Wine Racks – Contemporary Wine Racking Style

Another wine storage and display option comes in the form of metal wine cellar racks.  Vintage View metal wine racks create an elegant and impressive presentation of wine bottles.  These racking solutions provide a contemporary appearance and modern feel to any wine storage space.  Custom wine racks constructed from metal provide many design and style benefits in both residential and commercial applications.

Metal wine racks from Vintage View are designed to hold bottles in a label forward orientation.  Horizontal placement of wines not only helps maintain moisture in corks, but also organizes bottles in an easy to find storage solution.  The versatility of Vintage View metal wine cellar racking allows collectors to add racking to what would have been an unused wall space in their wine cellar, thus maximizing the overall bottle capacity of the room.

Vintage View metal wine racks are offered in several high quality finish options, such as Satin Black, Brushed Nickel, Black Pearl, Brass, Copper, Chrome, Rustic Red, and Antique Brown.  For wine collectors who prefer an avant-garde appeal to their wine cellar, metal wine racking systems are the perfect storage and display solution.

California wine cellar racks are available in a variety of sizes and styles that can suit the unique taste and display needs of wine collectors.  Regardless of a collector’s choice in wine racking styles, it is always important to choose wine storage and display racks that are designed and constructed by a company that specializes in wine racking systems, such as Coastal Custom Wine Cellars.
