13 Great DIY Wine Rack Ideas
Wine is a common element in the home, for that glass of red after work, with dinner, or to have at the ready for your next dinner party. While some people will buy wine only as they drink them, it’s always a good idea to have a few bottles on hand, because who knows when you may need them. Some kitchens come equipped with wine fridges but, for those that don’t, a wine rack is a great solution and they come in many shapes and sizes, from a wall mounted wine rack to wooden wine racks.
$15 Rustic Wine Rack
This chic wine rack is the perfect accessory to a rustic kitchen, with room for five bottles and nameplates that can be changed according to what wine it is holding. And the best part? Hometalker Shanty2Chic made this wall mounted rack for just $15. To construct the wine rack, Shanty2Chic used wood, cut with a miter, and bolts to hold up the wine – she then used a coat of chalkboard paint for writing the wine types. Get tutorial here
DIY Wine Bar
Another type of wine rack is a complete wine rack and bar like this one by Hometalker HomeMade Modern – who created this to also create an additional surface for the home, whether it be in the kitchen for extra counter space or as a surface in a wine cellar. This wine bar is made using 2x4s of wood and a drill to create all the necessary holes – pour concrete into steel mesh atop the wood counter to get the sleek countertop. Get tutorial here
Wine Glass Rack
To go along with your brand new wine rack, you’ll need a wine glass rack – luckily Hometalk has plenty of suggestions, like this simple wooden wine glass rack by Hometalker Kasey. She shows us how to take full advantage of vertical space in the kitchen. The great thing about this wooden wine glass rack is that it can be placed inside your existing cabinets using T-shaped moldings, which when placed close together, act as a shelf for your wine glasses.

A Tabletop Wine Rack
A tabletop wine rack is great for small spaces or as an addition to a bar.

From there, all you need to do is glue the pieces together to form a box and you’re all set to store some wine! Get tutorial here

Wine rack furniture is also a great addition to the home, like this wine rack and tabletop, which Hometalker Christina @ Christina's Adventures refinished and put into her home.

To do this, she used paint and a new piece of wood, which she aged to give it the distressed look she desired. Get tutorial here
