Custom wine racks give you the chance to select your materials, your styles, your size, and any other details you may wish to add into the design. Some custom pieces even involve taking existing items, such as a whiskey barrels or an Egyptian sarcophagus replica, and turning them into custom wine racks.

Custom built-in wine racks for homes are also quite common and range anywhere from a closet wine rack to an entire basement conversion. While the cost associated with true custom pieces can add-up very quickly, the possibilities are truly endless as to the finished products that can be created.
