If you prefer simple and clean designs with just the right amount of charm, have a look at the wine rack featured on camillestyles. It’s made out of a wooden plank and it’s really beautiful. If you want to make something similar you’ll require a drill press that drills at an angle and a 1.25” bit plus some sandpaper. Cut the plank to the desired length and then mark where the holes will be drilled. Drill the holes for the bottles and sand the piece to make it smooth. You can then paint or stain the plank and mount it on a wall with brackets.

DIY Wine Rack

Another easy-to-make wine rack design can be found on cambriawines. This time the design is a little bit rustic. To make a similar wine rack you’ll need a wood board, some manila rope, a power drill with a ½” spade bit, sandpaper, wood stain and a brush or sponge, a hot glue gun and brad nails. After you cut the board, sand down the edges and then drill 10holes on each side of the board. Sand the holes. Then stain the board and add the rope. Insert it through the holes, glue the edges to prevent fraying and then secure the ends to the board with nails.

If you’re not exactly a wine connoisseur but you still enjoy an occasional glass of wine now and then, you could use a small wine rack like the one featured on themerrythought. The materials needed for the project include birch plywood, a scroll saw, a drill, three dowels, wood glue, four thin strip of leather and a sewing machine. Cut the plywood in two sections to make the frame. Drill six holes in the plywood and then insert the dowels and glue them in place. Fold the leather strips and sew along the edges, making the loops for the dowels to fit through.

Copper wine rack

On abubblylife you’ll find a tutorial showing you how to make a copper and leather wine rack with a nice industrial look. It was made using ½” copper tubing, copper tees, copper elbows and faux leather. Cutting the copper tubing was the hardest part. Once all the pieces were cut and prepared you can start putting the frame together using the tees and elbows. You can spray paint it if you want. After that, cut the leather and secure it to the frame with snaps. If they don’t match the frame, spray paint them.

Another copper wine rack is featured on lovecreatecelebrate. This one is designed to be attached to the underside of a cabinet.

You should measure the space under the cabinet and decide how long you want the rack to be. This will help you figure out how many bottles it can hold.

This one is made out of a wood plank that serves as the back support and few smaller wood pieces used as shelves. They can be labeled if desired. Hex bolts were used to help keep the bottles on the shelves. To get that distressed look, stain the wood and then lightly sand the edges.
