For many people, give them a good vintage bottle of wine and they are in what I call euphoric bliss. In order to truly understand why wine is so popular around the world, you would have to collect wine as a hobby. Then after years of personal experience tasting a variety of different wines you would become what is known as a wine connoisseur.

For those of you, and you know who you are, who have collections of fine vintages in your home, you are aware that you must store you wine properly in order to preserve the quality of your collection. It is far too easy to let a fabulous vintage turn to vinegar in no time at all.

For those of you who are just starting out, you need to know what you have to do in order to keep your bottled vintage from spoiling. It is often said that ignorance is bliss, but ignore your collection of fine wine by standing the bottles straight on a shelf and you will soon see and taste how good Chardonnay is not supposed to taste.

For the novice collector, you are the individual who has a need to know that you have to preserve the cork in the bottle by placing the bottle on its side. This will keep the cork from drying out and breaking the seal to the precious vintage inside.

You must also know that keeping wine at a cool temperature is a must. Temperatures too warm or too cook will damage your vintage. The result is an embarrassing moment when you have friends over, you pop open a treasured vintage and a distasteful expression appears on their faces.

None of this will ever happen if you take good care of your collection. An easy way to take care of your vintage wine is to store your bottles on a wall mounted rack. These wall mounted wine bottle holders are easy to install. Depending on the amount of bottles in your collection, you have a variety of sizes, styles and features to make each and every bottle in your collection extremely happy to live a long and tasteful life.

So now let's go over your options and you can see for yourself what type of wall mounted bottle holder best fits into your wine collecting lifestyle.

I'm going to start with the Cioso wall-mounted bottle holder. This simple straight vertical bar rack has eight rings integrated into the bar. There are, of course, enough rings to hold eight bottles by inserting the bottle neck.

If you have a larger collection, then the Deluxe wine & glass wall rack may be something that you may be interested in. This 3-tiered wrought iron wine bottle holder has three shelves that hold 4 bottles per shelf. Also, the bottom of this rack is a glass holder that holds the glasses upside down by sliding the inverted glass base into the provided slots. Very decorative.

For my last example today, let's take a look at the Series Twenty-Seven bottle wall mounted rack. You guessed it. This wall mounted unit holds 27 bottles of your prime vintage. Much like the Cioso wall-mounted rack, this wall mounted bottle holder has superior air flow, so all bottles will receive the proper temperature although they are stored three bottles side by side and nine rows tall. Perfect wall mounted unit for slightly larger collections.

If you are looking to store larger collections of wine, you might want to look into floor standing racks.

Wall mounted wine racks serve two purpose. They help keep your vintage from spoiling over time. They also can add a decorative charm to a kitchen or dining room. Those of you who have a passion for fine wine will want to have a wall mounted wine rack in order to show off your good taste.
