I designed this free-standing wine rack for myself using stainless steel tubing.
The first one is 8 bottles high by 14 bottles wide for under counter used. I can easily re-configure for full height by 5 bottles wide. I'll be building this in the next couple of weeks and will post a picture of the completed unit. |

If you noticed the plastic loops of tubing in the back, those are for the cooling system.
At present I have cold well water trickling through all the bottle support hoops. That is keeping the wine nearly 10 degrees below room temp. I'll upgrade that to a solenoid operated setup with a thermostat for better efficiency. I have an even better cooling system planned, one that is good enough to sell with the rack. It will use a small thermoelectric heat exchanger and a small circulating pump for a closed loop system. The thermoelectric unit will be remotely located so the warm air isn't reintroduced into the storage location. |
