A wine collection is definitely not complete without a collection of glasses. Bottles of wine need to be stored in a wine bottle rack and glasses in a wine glass rack. However a wine glass rack is not something mandatory, although in most cases it is recommended.

This is because wine glasses are by nature more fragile than normal glasses and cups, and they are more expensive too. So there is some form of necessity to store the glasses in a very safe place. And when it comes to wine glass racks, there are just so many that you can find in the market nowadays. One of the most famous ones is the hanging wine glass rack.

Serves Various Purposes

A hanging wine glass rack does two things at a time. It stores the wine glasses safely and securely, and at the same time it saves space from having another cabinet specially for keeping wine glasses. These types of wine glass racks can also double as storage for your stemware easily and elegantly.

At the same time, these racks keep away dust. This is because the glasses are hung on the rack rather than placed facing up, which brings down the chances of dust landing and getting stuck on the glasses.

There is however a limitation when it comes to hanging wine glass rack. Unless it is made of strong metal, it would not withstand more than 50 glasses, but most of the households would not have that much generally. One good thing about hanging wine glass rack is that they are not very expensive. Extremely beautiful ones, especially those made for decorative purposes usually cost more though, generally over $100.
This hanging wine glass rack hangs from the ceiling, so when it comes to maintenance, it would be slightly harder to manage compared to ground based racks. But compared to the amount of space it would save you from putting the same size of cabinet on the ground, the cleaning process would be just a small effort.
Such a rack generally comes in various sizes and shapes, and most manufacturers know what their customers need. You can basically fit in any wine glass of any size; there should not be a problem in having a glass too big or too small for the rack.
