Buying Guides

What color are the VintageView® wine racks?
VintageView® wine racks come standard in two finishes: Wine
Bottle Green
and Brushed Nickel (Platinum Series)
Does Wine Master Cellars® build complete wine cellars?
No. Wine Master Cellars® concentrates on providing metal wine
racks. VintageView® wine racks can be used inside cabinets built
by your local contractor or to create complete wine cellars.
Can I store as many wine bottles with VintageView® wine
racks as with traditional wine racks?
Your space configurations and the VintageView® wine racks you
use will determine the wine storage capacity of your wine display.
Generally, our 3 bottle deep wine racks will hold the same
quantity of bottles as standard cork-forward racks...9 bottles per
square foot. If you interlace
our 3 bottle wine racks (call for
details) you can increase your wine storage capacity to as much
as 10 1/2 bottles per square foot. Also, with VintageView® wine
racks you will have much less wasted space in your corners.
Is installation difficult with VintageView® wine racks?
Our wine racks are simple to install using a standard level, a wine
bottle and a screwdriver. With some mounting surfaces you may
also need a drill. All of our wine racks come with detailed
installation instructions. VintageView® wine racks can be
installed into drywall, rock, brick, wood or just about any other
surface. A fully loaded VintageView® wine rack can be safely
installed on a drywall surface with the correct fasteners. We now
carry fastener packets you may order for use with certain
surfaces. Typical fasteners used to install VintageView® wine
racks include toggles, spiral inserts and Tapcon® screws.
We sell fastener kits for drywall and masonry walls.
The following are our fastener recommendations:
There are six pre-
drilled mounting holes for fasteners on each set
of wine racks, three holes per side -
neck and base. Each fastener
must support less then twenty pounds, of which most is in shear
force (vertical pressure down on the wall). The top fastener has
the most pull out force (horizontal pressure away from the wall).
When installing wall strips ALWAYS make sure the top fastener is
solid.
Installation surfaces and suggested fasteners
Wood: #8 x 2" wood screw
Plywood on drywall: #8 x 2" wood screw
Drywall*: Spiral insert, Toggle bolt or Molly
Concrete: 3/16" x 1 3/4" masonry screw (ie: Tapcon®)

*Many people are concerned about mounting VintageView® wine
racks onto drywall with only spiral inserts. If you are concerned
about this we suggest using a Toggle bolt or Molly on the top
mounting holes and spiral inserts on the bottom two mounting
holes.
