A wine rack won't fit in an upper....they are normally only 12" deep and wine bottles are much taller than that. You can set any after-market wine rack inside a lower cabinet though, or in a deep cabinet over the refrig. I bought a pretty ORB one to sit on my counter and it works great.

here's ours - and it's 12" deep

mairin, yes, but yours is not IN an existing cabinet it is under it. You can't lay most wine bottles down in a 12" deep cabinet and close the door. They are too tall. I think the OP wants to put a wine rack inside an existing cabinet.

thanks all, OP here...never thought of the upper cabinet issue - duh... so glad to have this forum

and yes, would like to add into existing cabinet.

and sorry to continue to be dumb but what is ORB?

ORB is Oil Rubbed Bronze. I got mine from Marhsalls or TJ Max or one of those discount places for cheap and it holds 9 bottles. Check Amazon.com...they have tons of them.

oh, sorry! just blame it on the sleep deprivation!!!

The living space in most homes is too warm for long term storage of wine. Better to set up something in the basement-if you have one-where temps are a little cooler and less prone to fluctuations. I bought a house with a rack as part of the cabinets but I'm taking it out. I don't store my wine in it and it's just one more thing to dust.

I agree with Riverspots--you don't want room temperature wine storage in most living areas, especially a kitchen. You want someplace cool, dark, and undisturbed; wine gets damaged if it's warm, exposed to light, and/or vibrated. Options besides a basement cellar are a closet or small space with a chiller unit or a refrigerated beverage center type unit. If you just want a few bottles & short term storage, then an out of the way lower cabinet, closet floor, or pantry would be better than the kitchen, and doesn't rob precious storage space there.

thanks all, and i just checked my upper cabinets, a wine bottle does fit and i can close door. so i have lots of options. thanks for the suggestions all!
