Wine Racks, A Holiday Solution

Wine racks are an organizer's dream.  They are beautiful, come in an array of home decor styles and offer multiple organization options.

Storing ones special selection of wines and wine glasses is the original intent for a wine rack.  However they work well for other decorative storage solutions too. 

Guests coming in for the holidays this year?  Use an elegant wine rack that bests compliments your home decor to beautifully display additional hand towels in the guest bathroom or the 1/2 bath.  Your company will appreciate having extra towels available without having to bother you or poke around in your linen closets themselves.

How about using that wine rack to put in your spare bedroom for your guests.  Fill it with a couple of magazines for their reading enjoyment, a couple pairs of fuzzy cozy socks to keep their feet warm, and a bottle of their favorite wine to enjoy just before bed.  Place the rack on a tray with wine glasses, wine opener and even some light nighttime snacks.  Your guests will appreciate the gesture and I am sure will enjoy a wonderful nights sleep.

Have last months magazines laying on your coffee table and you haven't finished reading them?  Roll them up slightly and stick them in a wine rack.  Many floor model racks would work well for this purpose.  

Place magazines in rack to keep them organized.

Place the rack in the living room corner and get those magazines off the coffee table.  They will be close by, neatly organized and easy to access when you are ready to finish reading them.  This would work well with newspapers too when you haven't read every section or you want to hang on to the sports section for the football line-up.  Roll it up and place it in the wine rack.  Off the floor, off the coffee table, neatly organized and easy to access.

Serve wine for the holidays.  Wine is a ready made beverage and with a self serve wine bar available, keeping your guest happy will be easier than ever. 

Have a filled wine rack placed on your kitchen island or counter top.  Place wine glasses on a tray with a wine opener and create a self serve wine bar that keeps your wines available to your guests.  When guests are ready they can open and pour the wines themselves.  You could even place a sign saying "Help Yourself" in a decorative frame nearby.

Use these tips and keep your holidays stress free while treating your guests like the special people they are.

  1. Amazing tips to arrange wine Rack. It looks magnificent. I will rearrange wine rack at my home. I have a membership of Celebration wines club in CA. It is one of most excellent Wine clubs in CA. When I will get shipment of wine next month, I will arrange in the same way as you mentioned.

  2. The best place for wine storage is a cellar or cellar-like place that is dim, cool, and stable in temperature and movement, slightly humid and with few odors. The worst place would be the top of the fridge where you get vibration, constantly changing temperature, heat from the kitchen and constant exposure to light.
