These 4 Best Wine Racks Won the Tests — and a Designer’s Heart

The best wine racks hold up well to time, just like the wine they bear. From aged looks inspired by Tuscan vineyards to more modern and simple designs, there's a wine-storage solution for everyone — even those with a discerning eye for style. In terms of capacity, they can hold as many or as little as you choose; the products below range from 4 to 16 bottle-capacity. The biggest reason (and the most common one from our customers) to shop from the list, though, has to do with accessibility and proper storage: having an easy place to see all your collection at once, in shelves and slots that allow for angle- or horizontal-storing, makes these products top-notch.

Best Wine Racks

Where is the best place to put a wine rack?

  • Near the kitchen or dining area: If you're considering a wine fridge, placing it near these spaces makes sense so that wine can be easily accessed when you're hosting guests or preparing meals.
  • Under-counter or built-in: For a more seamless, integrated look, you might consider installing a stackable wine rack under a kitchen counter or in a cabinet.
  • Near the dining table or wine service area: Consider combining your wine rack here with a glass holder to store your wine glasses.

What is the best height for a wine rack? 

  • For easy access: Typically, placing your wine rack between 32–36 inches from the floor is comfortable for easy access.
  • Counter-height: If you're incorporating a stackable wine rack or a modular wine rack into your kitchen or bar area, consider placing the rack at counter height, around 36 inches from the floor.
  • Storage and display: If you’re more focused on storing wine and don't need frequent access, placing the rack lower (around 24 inches) or higher (around 48 inches) can be a good option, depending on the available space.
