Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
Necessary Things:
- Wine
- Hammer

Step 1
Decide how big you need your wine rack to be. There are some versions of wine racks that fit on kitchen counters for added convenience, and some that are larger than showcase many bottles of wine at first.
Step 2
Design your wine rack. The bottles will be held horizontally. This will keep the cork moisturized and keep debris out of the neck of the bottle. You don’t want to ruin the contents.
Step 3
Make your wine rack seven inches deep at least. The deeper you construct your wine rack, the more room the bottles have to be settled in and not sticking out. This helps steady the rack as well.
Step 4
Decide how may wine bottles your wine rack has to store. There are several ways you can choose to store the wine bottles. You can store then in a diamond shape space or a square, flat shaped slot.
Step 5
Design your wine rack with the shape you chose. It will either be the diamond shaped mentioned or the flat box shape. The slots should be big enough to accommodate three or more bottles on one space. This is space efficent for the times when there are more than a few wine bottles to find storage for.
Step 6
You can also construct spaces that are just enough room for single bottles at one time. This can make the wine easier to get to when ready to use.
Step 7
Screw holes into the wine rack before placing the screws in. Secure the joints.
