Frequently Asked Questions

What color are the wine racks? wine racks come standard
in two finishes: Wine Bottle Green
and Brushed Nickel (Platinum Series)
Can I store as many wine bottles with wine racks as with
traditional wine racks?
Your space configurations and the 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 wine racks you will
have much less wasted space in your corners.
Is installation difficult with 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. wine racks can be installed into drywall, rock, brick,
wood or just about any other surface. A fully loaded 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 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.

Many people are concerned about mounting 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.
