The 15 Best Wine Racks

Everyone has a different relationship to wine, so what’s yours?

Maybe you only have the occasional bottle of red or white with dinner, but you always like to keep a few bottles on hand for that purpose.

Perhaps you drink wine every day, and if you do, there’s nothing wrong with that as long as you don’t have too many glasses.

Or, you could be a serious wine collector with a dedicated cellar or wine cooler, but the need for additional storage space.

Whether you fit one of those descriptions or you fall somewhere in between, finding the best wine racks can be challenging. There are a huge number of great racks out there, but you’ll also encounter a lot of cheap tat on your journey.

Instead, take the time to browse the 15 racks we review today so you know you’re in safe hands. As always, we’ll outline the flaws of these racks rather than purely singing their praises.

The 15 Best Wine Racks

1. Our #1 Pick: Mango Steam 32-Bottle Wine Rack

Do you have a mid-sized collection of wine you’d like to keep organized and ready for drinking so you can save space and time? If so, our overall favorite of the wine racks we review comes from Mango Steam.

The 32-bottle capacity assumes regular bottles of pinot and chardonnay. If you use the rack for storing bigger and bulkier bottles, you’ll fit less of them in.

The robust build means you won’t need to treat this rack with kid gloves. It’s stable enough to keep all those bottles safe and horizontal so the corks remain in contact with the wine inside the bottle and prevent them from drying out.

Finished with a tempered-glass top, you can use this to open and pour your wine on, or you could use the space to store even more bottles.

The finish is neat with no visible screws to ruin the clean lines and a pleasingly solid overall build.

Overall dimensions are 26.75 x 20.8 x 9 inches so make sure you have the space to accommodate this rack.

The only drawback with this rack is the screw on the lower level that a handful of users have complained about being too long.

Measuring up at 16.6 x 2.5 x 2 inches, this is a small and compact gem at a scarcely believable price point. What are you waiting for?
