It is easy to see why many people feel that when it comes to shopping for a wine rack, there is not going to be much choice in terms of finding really unique yet functional pieces. Let�s face it, for many of us a wine rack has always been seen as just something to store our bottles, however, today many people are looking for those interesting pieces that will always be a conversation starter while being functional at the same time. You might be able to find such pieces from larger stores or manufacturers, but when looking to buy a wine rack that none of your friends will have, the best place to look is with the independent artists.
When you install your wall mounted wine racks you should attach it to wall studs to be the most secure. You can purchase a stud finding tool at Lowes, Home Depot or local hardware store. You can find a how to video online to learn how to properly secure the rack to the wall. There are also special fastening screws available to secure wall mounted racks when no stud is available but be sure to understand the weight load of these products.Installing the wall wine rack in an area of your home that is out of direct sunlight, in a cool area of your home, and slightly humid would be the best thing to do. This could be in a closet in your home; this area of your home may offer a consistent environment and a dark area for your wine. Light, heat and humidity will all spoil your wine. A basement, or under a staircase are also good places to put your wall wine rack.Wall wine racks can vary from holding a couple of bottles of wine to more extensive triple deep units holding multiple bottles. A wall mounted wine rack is perfect for under a kitchen cabinet or on the wall in the kitchen or dining area. But I wouldn�t suggest putting it in your kitchen because it�s not the best spot for wines. Wines need to be kept cool; so a basement, cold storage room or proper wine cellar are the best spots. A kitchen can have drastic temperature changes due to cooking, so you may just want to keep a small wine rack in the kitchen and consume those bottles frequently to change over your selection.The wine racks from Delia are anything but ordinary. With an array of styles ranging from counter top to floor standing, single bottle holders to wine consoles, there is a wine rack for anyone who is looking for something functional and unique at the same time. Take for example their �Wine Spine.� A modern piece, this rack curves gently forming a vertebrae shape while holding 13 bottles of your favorite wine. I have never seen a wine rack with this style before, and while to some thinking about a wine rack that resembles a spine might be a bit nauseating, this wine rack is well crafted and maintains its elegance while being distinctive and versatile at the same time.Having no previous experience in welding, Larry looked to his friends for help and knowledge. After grasping the art of blind welding, Larry began to create the works of art he makes today. Decorative and functional, his vine racks are a work of art and give the illusion of �picking your wine bottle right from the vine.� The majority of his racks are wall mounted, but he does have some floor standing, suspended and counter top creations as well. He takes pride in offering unique pieces to his customers that are functional and beautiful.
While it might be possible to get these sorts of wine racks from larger commercial manufacturers, it is unlikely that commercial products are going to be made with the same dedication and passion as those hand crafted by an artist.
