Whether you are an avid wine connoisseur or a normal wine drinker, an alcohol rack will help you manage your collection easier. You can also use your wine rack to properly store your spirits so that it will not be wasted.

MATERIALS NEEDED TO MAKE A WINE RACK

The materials that you needed for your project are wood stock, one by two strapping stock, tack nails, bolts, carpentry glue, screws and nails.

TOOLS

The tools that you needed to for this endeavor are saw, drill with bits, tape measure, hammer, pen and paper.

STEPS IN BUILDING YOUR WINE RACK

One of the first things that you should know before beginning your project is where you will place it. If the standard rules regarding alcohol storage are followed, it should not be constructed near doors and window, in an area where there is a high degree of humidity and in a place where there is sunlight. One of the most well-known variations of alcohol racks are table top racks. They can be place in alcoves and in the top of cabinets.

For this rack variation, you need to use a thin wood stock. Sizes differ for this variation but it is recommended to use one inch deep and two inches wide. Determine what will be the height of your creation and create 2 pairs of legs. With the help of a stock, decide the length and width of the set-up and create the cross braces and holders needed.

For a 6 wine bottle rack, you need to create sixteen braces-twelve for the alcohol bottles and a pair of braces for the ends for additional support. Installing the braces can be accomplished in three different ways: using nails, screwing and using a drill. Carefully connect each part and make sure to place a cross brace for additional strength.

If you are making it in a wine cellar, it needs to be constructed near a power outlet. It should also be made above ground so that it will not be affected by the moisture in the ground. The main difference between a bigger rack and kitchen bottle rack is that this will be installed to the wall for additional support.

Create thick posts for it and a single two by four stock with cutouts for the wine bottles. Make clamps for the bottle support. Do this for one portion and then make it as a reference for how many wine bottles that you needed.
