The straightforward design and simple assembly process have delighted numerous customers who, after acquiring their wine rack, have expressed the pleasure they experienced while building it and then filling it with their favorite wines.
Picture the joy of assembling your wine rack, all while savoring a glass or two of your favorite vintage. It's a fun experience that brings immense satisfaction, especially when you finally get to retrieve bottles that have been tucked away in cases for months or even years.
WHERE IS MODULARACK MADE?
Modularack proudly crafts its products in Australia, using exclusively sourced, premium-grade Australian grown Radiata Pine.
Embracing the exceptional quality of Australian-grown timber, Radiata Pine is an aesthetically pleasing and durable wood that has a unique grain that sets it apart from cheaper alternatives grown in Asia and other parts of the world.
WHY WOULD I USE WINE RACKS IF THEY ARE NOT IN A TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED WINE CELLAR?
Having a purpose built, temperature controlled wine room is expensive and out of reach for many people. For those who are lucky enough to have the space and budget for a temperature controlled wine cellar, our stackable wooden wine rack will look great in there.
Our wine rack system is affordable and allows you to build them under the house, in cupboards, under stairs, the garage, in the living room, kitchen or anywhere else you have space. Long term cellaring is best in areas where there is minimal direct sunlight, minimal vibrations and a cool constant temperature.
HOW MANY BOTTLES CAN I CELLAR?
As many as you like! Email us the height and width of the area you would like to place Modularack and we will send you back a solution to cellar the maximum number of bottles.
IS STORING WINE BOTTLES ON MODULARCK GOOD FOR THE WINE?
Our innovative design ensures that your wine bottles are stored horizontally, keeping the cork fully moist. Leaving the bottle's cork in an upright position can lead to drying, deterioration, and eventual shrinkage over time. Storing bottles upright allows air to enter, resulting in wine oxidation, commonly known as corked wine, which imparts an unpleasant taste.
With our wooden racks, bottles are horizontally stacked, providing convenient access to each bottle while preserving cork integrity. Orienting the wine label upward on our wine rack also enables you to monitor sediment build-up, particularly useful when decanting wine.
SHOULD I BUY A WINE RACK OR A WINE REFRIGERATOR?
There are good reasons to have both. Stackable wine racks like Modularack provide the benefit of larger bottle capacity than a wine fridge. Because most wine fridges will hold a limited amount of bottles, a large wine rack will allow you to store more bottles than a wine fridge. They allow you to continually build your wine cellar capacity as your wine collection grows. Wooden wine racks also provide a unique aesthetic and true wine cellar atmosphere that can lack with a wine fridge. Our wine storage racks are designed to keep the bottle's cork completely moist which its ideal for long term cellaring.
A wine stand like Modularack Racks will allow you to access every bottle you have, without having to sort through bottles that are buried in a wine fridge. If you have the room for both, maybe place 10% of your wine in a wine fridge and the remaining 90% on our wine cellar racks.
