Starting to plan some wine racks to replace the plastic utility shelves that I am using now. I am trying to decide between the diamond/cube layout and the scalloped or slatted shelves. The racks will be in my basement and out of the way, so ascetics are not the highest priority but I still want them to look nice. My biggest dilemma between the two styles is storage capacity. I have a limited space and want to store as much finished wine as I can.

From the various plans that I've seen, it seems that the diamond/cube style will hold more per cubic foot. I was curious if anyone could confirm that idea.

Thanks
Chris
 
they would hold more.....i like their looks..only thing i have against them is that if you have labels, they get a bit tussled when the bottles get turned against each other

I built this one for less than 100 bucks. Using cheap wood from home depot....








The only tools I used was a little portable table saw, a chop saw, a tape measure, a small nail gun, and a power drill. (most were borrowed)
 
That looks real good, Goodfella.

That looks like it holds 130 bottles. Right?
 
the only thing i have against Goodfellas rack is that he keeps it outside :)
