A wine rack is crucial to storing wine. Whether you choose a wooden wine rack or a metal wine rack is not important. Rather, pick a sturdy unit that holds the number of bottles you need to store. Temperature-controlled, freestanding wine racks are a perfect storage system, though they are more expensive than a simple wine rack in a cool spot. Small storage systems hold a dozen bottles, larger systems hundreds of bottles. These storage systems are an investment and can be used as furniture. Be prepared to spend close to $2,000 for a storage system.
You can cheaply outfit your wine cellar with wooden shelves -- usually pine -- with 54-, 72-, or 90-bottle capacity. Pine wine cubes provide the most storage for the dollar, and can be stacked to grow with your collection. The biggest benefit of a wire wine rack is that you can easily see each wine's label. Metal wine racks tend to be thinner than wooden racks and can fit in narrow spots like hallways or under stairs.
Remember, where you store the wine is more important than how you store your wine. Choose a wine rack that fits your needs and your budget.

Wine Storage Do s and Don ts.Wine begins to spoil the moment it is opened. While short term
exposure to oxygen or breathing the wine can open the aromas
and flavours of various red wines, any contact with oxygen
before opening a bottle and its all over, down the sink.
When the wine is in an upright position as many are at your
local liquor store for months and sometime years, the drying out
of the cork will have disastrous effects due to oxidation. So
try to buy wines that are stored lying down, or as becoming more
popular, screw caped bottles.
