Wineracks

[hotwine]

You can find numerous ads for different styles of wine racks in the wine magazines, such as Wine Spectator and Food & Wine, available in supermarkets and bookstores.
I prefer to make my own racks, in either of two styles: bookcase-style of welded steel frames with inlaid wood shelves, or diamond bins. Both types are 3' X 5', and can hold roughly 14 cases of Bordeaux-style bottles. The diamond bins are built with plywood, and each unit has nine 12-bottle bins, nine 6-bottle bins, and two three-bottle bins. The bookcase style has six shelves and a top, and each shelf can hold about two cases. Twelve-inch pieces of 1" X 1" steel angle are used as separators on the shelves; when wedged under a bottle that is laying on its side, the angle locks it in place and keeps it from rolling (at least, in the direction of the angle).
I prefer the diamond bins, because they can easily accommodate full cases, or lonely orphans, without the worry of constantly having to block bottles with pieces of angle to keep them from rolling around. The bins are a bit more tedious to make, though. And I'm a better welder than I am a carpenter.
Still, the bins look nice, with their numbered tags hanging at the apex of each bin. With each rack/unit assigned a letter, and each bin/shelf location a number, they lend themselves quite readily to bookkeeping with a database. (I use Cellar for Wine Enthusiasts, by Collectware.)
BTW, I came up with the 3' X 5' size based on the short stairwell and doors into my cellar; that's the largest size that can be maneuvered into position. The full-sized bins were sized by placing 12 Mosel bottles upright on a piece of cardboard, and measuring their collective footprint.
