FAQ's
What color are the VintageView® wine racks?
VintageView® wine racks come standard in two finishes: Wine Bottle Green and Brushed
Nickel (Platinum Series)
Can I store as many wine bottles with VintageView® wine racks as with traditional wine
racks?
Your space configurations and the VintageView® wine racks you use will determine the wine
storage capacity of your wine display. Generally, our 3 bottle deep wine racks will hold the
same quantity of bottles as standard cork-forward racks...9 bottles per square foot. If you
interlace our 3 bottle wine racks (call for details) you can increase your wine storage capacity
to as much as 10 1/2 bottles per square foot. Also, with VintageView® wine racks you will
have much less wasted space in your corners.
Is installation difficult with VintageView® wine racks?
Our wine racks are simple to install using a standard level, a wine bottle and a screwdriver.
With some mounting surfaces you may also need a drill. All of our wine racks come with
detailed installation instructions. VintageView® wine racks can be installed into drywall, rock,
brick, wood or just about any other surface. A fully loaded VintageView® wine rack can be
safely installed on a drywall surface with the correct fasteners. We now carry fastener packets
you may order for use with certain surfaces. Typical fasteners used to install VintageView®
wine racks include toggles, spiral inserts and Tapcon® screws.
The following are our fastener recommendations:
There are six pre-drilled mounting holes for fasteners on each set of wine racks, three holes
per side - neck and base. Each fastener must support less then twenty pounds, of which
most is in shear force (vertical pressure down on the wall). The top fastener has the most
pull out force (horizontal pressure away from the wall). When installing wall strips ALWAYS
make sure the top fastener is solid.
Installation surfaces and suggested fasteners
Wood: #8 x 2" wood screw
Plywood on drywall: #8 x 2" wood screw
Drywall*: Spiral insert, Toggle bolt or Molly
Concrete: 3/16" x 1 3/4" masonry screw (ie: Tapcon®)
Stucco on concrete: 3/16" x 1 3/4" masonry screw (ie: Tapcon®)
* Many people are concerned about mounting VintageView® wine racks onto drywall with only
spiral inserts. If you are concerned about this we suggest using a Toggle bolt or Molly on the
top mounting holes and spiral inserts on the bottom two mounting holes.
What are the general installation guidelines?
Standard wine bottles [750ml] average 12 inches in length. For this size bottle VintageView®
wine racks are mounted at 7 1/2" apart per upright (starting a minimum of 2 3/4" distance
from your first perpendicular wall) and 5 1/2" between sets of wine racks. Therefore each
wine rack requires approximately 13" of space, side to side, for installation with standard
bottles. All wine bottles vary in size, so be sure to confirm your bottle measurements before
installing your VintageView® wine racks.
How far out from the wall do VintageView® wine racks extend?
The 1 bottle deep wine racks extend out 5 1/4" from the wall. The 2 bottle deep wine racks
extend 8 1/2 " from the wall and the 3 bottle deep wine racks extend out 12" from the wall.

How many VintageView® wine racks can I fit in my space?
Measure the length of your storage wall, in inches, and divide by 13. Take the resulting
number and drop any decimals. This is the number of VintageView® WS series wine racks
you can fit on your wall using standard spacing. If you are stacking VintageView® wine racks
you will need to multiply the number of columns by the number of wine racks high you will be
stacking (double stack = multiply by two, triple stack = multiply by three, etc.) For example,
if your wine storage wall is 10 feet (120 inches) in length you would divide 120 by 13, which
equals 9.23; dropping the decimal, gives you 9. Therefore, you can fit 9 wine racks from one
side of your wine storage space to the other. If you have 13 foot ceilings, you could triple
stack our 3 foot VintageView® wine racks (9 racks across multiplied by 3 racks high=27 wine
racks total). Remember that our wine racks are designed to be cut so you can generally fit
them into any height space.
How does the cost compare to other wine racks?
Pricing for wine racks can range from as little as $1.00 per bottle up to over $20.00 per
bottle, depending on whether you purchase a kit or have the wine racks custom built. Our
wine racks range in price from $2.28 to $6.89 per bottle. Our wine racks are easier to install
than other wine racks which cuts down on installation costs and our wine racks are the only
wine racks on the market that can fit into a very shallow wine storage space as well as
display the bottle labels rather than the corks.
