Wine glass racks aren’t just for connoisseurs or bartenders. They’re a stylish and practical way to store all kinds of stemware in your kitchen, bar area or dining room. Here’s what to consider when you choose stemware storage for your home.
Types of Wine Glass Racks
Under-Cabinet Wine Glass Racks. Under-cabinet racks are a great way to maximize space in your kitchen. Hang your wine glasses upside down under the cabinetry to keep dust out of the glass and maintain shelf or counter space below. They also provide a flexible option to add to your storage area over time. As your collection grows, mount another rack or two under the cabinets to increase capacity.
Hanging Wine Glass Racks. A wine glass hanger can create more of a statement in your kitchen or bar area. This style hangs from the ceiling, usually by decorative chains. It frees up space on the stemware shelf in your kitchen cabinets or bar area. Some hanging racks also come with bottle storage on top for added convenience.
Glassware Storage Cabinets. For glasses that you only use on special occasions, a dedicated stemware storage chest is a great option to keep them safe and clean. Use a
wine cabinet or buffet to store glassware in a dining room or hallway.
Material Choices Glassware storage racks come in a variety of materials, allowing you to pick a rack that fits your decor.
Wooden wine glass racks are a common choice for hanging racks. Go with a wood finish that matches your hardwood floors or the finish on your cabinets.
Metal wine glass racks are a sleek choice that can blend with any decor. A chrome wine rack provides a clean, modern look while oil rubbed bronze is a more traditional style. Most under-cabinet racks and some hanging racks are made of metal.
