Top 10 Best Wine Racks in the UK 2021 (Cranville, Alessi and More)

A behemoth of the wine storing domain, Sogesfurniture's wooden wine rack can house up to 60 bottles. This scope for storing makes it the largest freestanding rack – or should we say cabinet – on this list and possibly the internet.

No nails or screws are required to get this clever unit secured, with a stress-free interlocking system that even the least DIY-savvy should be able to assemble. Although clever, the design does inherently lack any flair style-wise, making it more suited to a wine cellar than being on display in the lounge. 

This is a stylish, wall-mounting option from AcornFort that will display your wines on top and your glasses down below. The sliding rungs have been implemented to invert your wine glasses for easy and safe access. 

Fitting 12 bottles and 12 glasses, it'll surely get your guests remarking in delight. The main drawback to this style is that the bottles can't be stored horizontally. This is perfectly fine for young wines with the intention of imminent drinking, but it's a big no-no for ageing them. 

Another style-focused design here, only this time, the rack is quirkily shaped like a wine glass itself. A good mid-way size for the average household, it stores up to 11 bottles in total. The marble veneer tabletop is another unique aspect that allows it to become a piece of hallway or dining room furniture if you wish. 

However, what's below the veneer is a little questionable. Though it does keep the price down somewhat, the wood used is some type of MDF or chipboard, which lets slip that the rack maybe isn't all that it's cracked up to be in terms of construction. 

Fitting 9 bottles, this holder by SimplyWire is ready to store just as easily as it's ready to fold away and store itself. The sides collapse to create a slim and versatile rack that can be used to display wines in the home or packed in the suitcase to elevate your wine drinking time while away. 

It also includes rubber stoppers to prevent it from slipping, sliding and potentially spilling your wine. The branded bamboo handle adds some warmth to the all-steel design, which is a good thing, as it's quite bare-boned without it. 

Doing things a little differently, the homeware designer brand Alessi have created a work of art with this pyramid-shaped thermoplastic resin mould. Fashioned for the modern home, this minimal and chic design benefits from clean wrapping lines that sees it hold a certain sensibility. 

The building of the pyramid requires a little assembly at home, but nothing too stressful. The main hitch is the price – considering it can only house six bottles, it is quite an expensive way to store your wines and is, predominantly, for show. 

We just love this bamboo wine rack double act for its versatility and simplicity. The racks can be stacked on top of each other, displayed on their side for horizontal storing, or upended for a slightly less sturdy but positively delightful way of displaying your wines. 

The charming bamboo construction gives off plenty of earthy, natural tones to create an inviting aspect to your home. Combined, the pair fit a maximum of ten bottles to ensure you're well-stocked for any party or event where the drinks will be flowing. 

Does it get any more retro-chic than this elegantly styled iron and wood rack? The swirling design of the iron sides combined with the wood panelling create a real rustic charm that's hard to argue with. 

Looks aside, the 3-tiered design can be stacked one on top of the other or separated without the need to fiddle around with screws. It fits 12 bottles in total for a sure-fire, show-stopping wine rack with a strong functionality and an even stronger look. 

VintageView have created something really unique with this wall-mounting rack that's premium in construction and ideal for kitchens, dining rooms and cellars alike. The choice of storing 9, 18 or 27 bottles is just one click away, as VintageView have created two and three-stack racks too. 

You might be thinking, that's surely too much weight for a wall-mounting wine rack to handle? Well you'd be wrong, as the brand supply not just home wine enthusiasts but plenty of wine stores and vineyards too. A remarkably minimal rack that holds up under pressure. 

If you enjoy collecting design-conscious furniture for your home, then this tabletop option is just the thing. Incredibly well made, this metal freestanding rack is finished with a sleek wooden top that's poised to impress. 

It's a great size for the average wine drinker too, fitting 12 bottles of your finest to bring about the kind of eye-catching, conversation-sparking, bedazzling vision of how wine can be stored. Don't hang about with this one, as they don't seem to stay available for long!

Our winner is one of those go-to wine storing designs that is popular because it works. The galvanised steel rack is incredibly strong with the cleverly placed dark, oak-stained wood pieces offering a place of refuge for each and every bottle. 

This is one of those rare freestanding racks that looks the part displayed in the home while also having a practical edge and storing up to 42 bottles. And if wine is your true passion, why not line these racks up one after the other to create an entire storage wall for your collection?
