144 Bottle Black Tie Grid

Comments about 144 Bottle Black Tie Grid:

This is a functional way to hold a lot of wine. As previously mentioned you need to build a little spacer to push it off the wall as the mounts aren't long enough and don't allow for the bottles to rest securely unless you add a couple of inches space. But the biggest thing is pinot bottles don't fit. The squares aren't big enough. I bought one similar to this a couple of years ago and thought I was getting the same thing, but no. So since I have both it doesn't matter to me, but I would be very upset if I didn't have somewhere else to put large bottles.

I'm using this rack in my garage. It is an excellent value on a price per bottle basis when it comes to wine storage. The only issue I have at all is with some bottles (especially Pinot Noirs) that have a larger base - they are just a bit too big to get into the slots. They will rest safely on top, but it would be nice if the squares were slightly larger.

These racks works perfectly with Bordeaux and standard Chardonnay bottles. Unlike many racks, these also work well with half-bottles. I added 1" of depth to the rack by attaching 1x2 strips to the wall (toggle bolted) and then used the included screws to attach the rack to the wood. I prefer this to using the included plastic wall anchors. Since I was building 5 racks side-by-side, I ran three wood strips horizontally at the height of the mounting brackets. The greater depth is more secure and permits storage of taller (Italian and other fancy types) bottles.

Use another type of rack for Large Formats, Champagne and Burgundy bottles.

These racks look very nice. Based on comments in other reviews and the cheap price, my wife was worried that they would be difficult to assemble and look cheap. They are neither cheaply made nor difficult to assemble!

Turned a small closet into storage for 12 cases of wine. It was a perfect fit for what used to be a coat closet.

Easy to assemble and holds LOTS of bottles. Really unfortunate that the "holes" for the bottles do not accommodate Champagne or the "new style" Pinot Noir or Syrah bottles.

We bought a second one. If your storage area is adequate in keeping a fairly stable temperature and you don't want to spend hundreds or thousands and still manage to purchase more wine than you can drink all at once, the is the perfect option. We have a small wine cooler for the dining area and convenience, but this is perfect for our garage in the NW where we don't get the extreme temperatures.

Fits well attached to studs in open space under stairs in basement. Easy access to wine; very sturdy.

A good bargain for a basic, large capacity wine rack for home storage use.
