14 Unique Wine Storage Ideas We Can Raise a Glass To
Between hostess gifts acquired who knows when, our regular stock of go-to rosé, and those special bottles picked up at last year’s tasting trip with the girls, you could say that the wine storage section of our kitchen is threatening to take over. Luckily, small-space dwellers with a soft spot for wine o’clock are finding more and more clever ways to store those bottles on the sly. From thoughtful home hacks that take advantage of underutilized space to stylish-yet-simple wine racks, here are our favorite new ways to organize those bottles.

12. Metal Plumbing Pipe Wine Rack: Here’s a high-shine alternative to the wooden dowel system that’s actually made from plumbing pipes spray painted in a variety of metallic shades. Suddenly found yourself with more bottles to store? This wine rack can grow with you. (via Rachael Ray Mag)
