Floor Standing Wine Racks

Twenty-three bottles in an arched metal frame about 32 inches tall, a foot wide and 7 inches deep, with a carry handle on top so it moves as easily as you do. It is one of the most-reviewed floor racks on Amazon and costs about as much as a good bottle. Bottles lie flat, so the corks stay wet. One reviewer reports wider Pinot Noir bottles fit; another, that Champagne does not.

Not for: Sparkling wine. A reviewer reports Champagne bottles do not fit.

Six tiers of bamboo with a flat top for glasses or a decanter, about 32 inches tall, 16 wide and under 10 deep, and reviewers say it looks more expensive than it is. The wave-shaped bars hold Bordeaux-shaped bottles well. Several reviewers say wider Pinot Noir and Champagne bottles will not pass through the front openings, so count your bottle shapes before you buy.

Not for: Burgundy, Pinot Noir and Champagne drinkers. Reviewers report the wider bottles do not fit through the front.

Eight tiers of iron with a wood top that works as a small serving bar, about 47 inches tall, 25 wide and 11 deep. Reviewers say the tier spacing takes Champagne and other sparkling bottles, which makes this the floor rack for a mixed collection. An anti-tip kit comes in the box: use it, because 48 full bottles is about 130 lb on a tall, narrow frame. Reviews are mixed on the quality of the wood.

Not for: Anyone expecting solid furniture. It is a metal rack with a wooden top, and reviewers are split on the wood.

Fifteen tiers of ten bottles in a metal frame 60 inches tall, 38 wide and only 9 deep, so a lot of wine fits against one wall. Reviewers say Bordeaux and Burgundy bottles both fit. Full, it carries about 400 lb of wine on a shallow base, so anchor it to the wall, and on an upper floor or in an older building, ask whether the floor will take it.

Not for: Anyone who will not anchor it, or an upper floor you are unsure of. At this weight on a 9-inch-deep base, both matter.
