Wine racks come in an almost infinite number of styles, shapes and sizes. A wine bottle rack is designed to store bottles of wine in a horizontal position. By laying a bottle of wine flat in a home wine rack the cork in the bottle is kept moist from inside the bottle. This prevents the cork from drying out, shrinking and exposing the wine to air and turning bad. Wine rack furniture can be small, holding a few bottles, up to cabinet size and holding several dozen bottles.
