Wine Glass Holders And Wine Racks
Wine Glass Holders
Wine glass holders are designed to keep your wine glasses separate from your heavier glassware. Since wine glasses have such delicate stems, they can easily snap if treated roughly. Almost any impact can cause that stem to break, too; so, you should ensure that your fine wine glasses are held separate from other glassware or dishes.
However, if you put your wine glasses on the top shelf of your cupboards, they might be safe; but they won’t be readily accessible.
Wine glass holders come in many varieties and price ranges. There are many different ways you can hold wine glasses. Wall-mounted glass holders, such as the Rösle Wine Glass Holder is part of the Rosle Open Kitchen System; 6 glasses with stems can be held by this wine holder; so if you don’t have a huge number of glasses, this kind of wine glass holder will suffice.
For those with far more glasses, though, you’ll be needing something that holds far more than six glasses. Generally, if it’s called a ‘Wine Glass Storage Rack’, it’s designed for more than six glasses. There are also hanging wine glass holders and wine glass holders that go under a cabinet; or a hanging wine glass rack might be nice.
If it says ‘holder’ in the description, then, it typically will hold less glasses than if it is called a ‘rack’. If all you want is a utilitarian rack that doesn’t hold many glasses, but helps keep them together and maintain a separation from your other glassware and dishes, you might consider purchasing a J.K. Adams WSR-1025 Stemware Rack.
It’s made of wood slats, separated by an inch-or-so, looking much like a wooden ladder. It’s not much for looks, but if you just want to ensure that they don’t break and they aren’t bumping into your other kitchenware, that’s a good choice at around $25.

Natural Hardwood Hanging Wine Glass Racks are separated slats of wood which have been grooved along the top edges with a router to allow the glasses to slide, upside-down, into slots. In this case, the hardwood rails tend to be about a foot long and you must screw them underneath your top kitchen cabinet so that they’re exactly parallel to each other. That way, the glasses will slide down to the back of the cabinet properly without jamming; two slots will hold up to 6 wine glasses. They tend to come unpainted, so if you wish to paint them you might consider using a spray white epoxy paint, which is easy to purchase from any hardware store; epoxy paint doesn’t flake or chip. Or, you might decide to paint them so they match your current wall color. There’s no reason you can’t just leave them their natural finish, though, because your hands will never be touching the wood.
If, on the other hand, you have many wine glasses, as a connoisseur might have, The model 8101 Rogar Hanging Wine Glass Rack is made from Hammered Steel, which makes it very decorative fixture that would look magnificent if you hung it above the center island of your kitchen area. You could also hang it from the ceiling of your bar or family room. The hammered steel has a powder coated finish that keeps it from rusting; and is 20.5” high, 30” wide and 15” deep, so it can hold a lot of wine glasses. Wine glass holders almost always hold the glasses by their foot.
