Building a bespoke wine wall might seem daunting, but with the W Series, it’s as easy as choosing your own adventure. Whether you are a casual collector looking to display a few special vintages or a restaurateur outfitting a massive commercial cellar, this step-by-step guide will walk you through exactly how to order and design your perfect modular wine rack system
Step 1: What Are You Storing?
Before you start measuring your walls, consider the types of wine you collect and drink most often.
Standard 750ml Bottles: If your collection consists mostly of standard bottles, you can proceed directly to the next step.
Large Formats (Magnums & Champagnes): Have a large collection of Magnums, Champagnes, or Pinot Noirs? Choose our specialized Mag/Champagne Rack or Big Bottle Rack to properly cradle these wider bottles.
Step 2: How Do You Want to Mount It?
The mounting style defines the look and feel of your wine display. The W Series offers two highly versatile installation options:
On the Wall (Wall-Mounted): Our system installs directly into drywall or wood surfaces. Bonus: You don't even need to find a stud! The included hardware makes drywall installation secure and incredibly flexible.
Off the Wall (Floating Display): Want a stunning room divider or glass-enclosed display? Add a Floor to Ceiling Frame to mount your display independently of the wall, reaching impressive heights of up to 12 feet.
Step 3: Choose Your Height
design. Start your build by selecting from one of our five standard heights:
- Single Bottle (5")
- 1-Foot
- 2-Foot
- 3-Foot
- 4-Foot
Pro Tip for Tall Ceilings: Need something taller than 4 feet? Simply couple multiple sections together using our provided couplers to create soaring, custom-height columns that fit your space flawlessly. W Series Wine Rack Kits (featuring 2 wine racks) are available in 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-foot sections.
Step 4: Choose Your Depth
Maximize your bottle capacity by choosing how many bottles deep you want your wine racks to extend from the wall:
- Single Depth: Perfect for narrow hallways, tight spaces, and showcasing individual wine labels.
- Double Depth: A great balance of high storage capacity and striking visual appeal.
- Triple Depth: The ultimate choice for serious collectors and commercial spaces looking to maximize high-density storage.
Step 5: Calculate Your Width (Columns)
Ready to figure out exactly how many columns will fit on your wall? Use this simple calculation trusted by top wine cellar designers.
The Golden Rule of Wine Rack Spacing
For standard W Series racks, we recommend using a 13" centerline between columns.
How to calculate:
Measure your total available wall width (in inches).
Divide that number by 13.
The resulting number tells you exactly how many columns you need for the perfect fit!
