Floor Standing Wine Racks

  • About 12 bottles
  • Garage or basement
  • Can drill

Around 12 bottles is more weight than a wall should carry, so a floor standing rack in a garage or basement is the safer and cheaper answer.

Storage warning

A garage is the one room to be careful with. Unless it is insulated and heated, it tracks the outside temperature, and the summer swing will age your wine years faster than it should. A finished basement is fine; an attached garage usually is not — keep anything you intend to age somewhere with a steadier temperature.

The picks for this answer are still being tested

The format above is the right one for your space — that part of the answer is complete, and so is the storage warning. Specific racks are still being assessed and will appear here as each one is finished.
