If you are starting with a modest collection of wines or just want to store wine for everyday drinking, a simple rack will be adequate. If your wine will be on show, you should choose one to suit your personal taste and décor. Racks come in metal and plastic and all kinds of wood - some will sit on surfaces and others can be fixed to a wall. It is important to choose a wood that will not become easily mildewed - redwood is a particularly good choice. Avoid novelty wine racks as these generally offer poor value for money.
