Choose Stackable Wine Racks to Economize Space and Have a Reasonable Cellar
Wine is known for its ability to complement any meal due to which many today prefer this beverage to any other variety. However, in order to enjoy wine at its best, you need to invest in maintaining it the right way and that is in specially designed wine racks, which stores the bottles in the horizontal position as required.
Why Does Wine Need to be Stored in a Horizontal Position?
Wine bottles are sealed with a cork, which is usually made out of tree bark. This in due course, if not kept moist will dry out and shrink. When the cork shrinks it allows the air to penetrate in the bottle damaging the structure of the wine through oxidation. Therefore the requirement to place the wine bottles horizontally thus ensuring the cork is moist at all times and minimizing the possibility of getting it dry.
Wine racks have been designed with these specifics in mind and those who care enough about their grape beverage will invest in a wine rack.
Choosing the Right Wine Rack for You
There are a large variety of wine racks available today; however picking the right one can be tricky. Most of us start by picking a small wine rack initially only to end up adding to that in different sizes and forms and in due course running out of space.
The best choice when you are looking to save space is a stackable wine rack as you can start small for example with just one rack and then keep adding to it as you go. In this way, you could store stackable wine racks wherever you want – in the kitchen, counter tops, dinning room, living room or even on the patio when you have friends over and need several bottles near by.
Stackable wine racks come in all types of materials such as metal, wood (which is most desirable), ceramic and wicker. All these materials come in the color of your choice in order to match a given décor or furniture.
Another great thing about stackable wine racks is that they don’t need any screws or bolts; you simply stack them one on top of the other. However, it is not recommended to stack them too high in order to prevent any accidents or mishaps.
Stackable wine racks can even be placed in the refrigerator should you have the need to chill some bottles of white wine. Remember that wine needs cooler temperatures of at least standard room temperature or less in some cases or else you will deteriorate the beverage.
