How to Build an Under-Cabinet Wine Glass Rack

Wine glasses are sometimes used as a collection to accent a home’s decor. Displaying the wine glasses and being able to access them easily is what most people would like. There are a few ways to do this. There are many different wine glass racks available on the market, but to get a true custom fit you may prefer to build your own.

1. Select the spot under your cabinets that will work the best for your wine glass rack. Measure that space and make sure there will be enough room for your wine glasses to hang properly.


2. Measure the size of your wine glasses. Make sure that you leave enough room in between each one. The easiest way to do this is to lay all of your glasses out and leave about a half-inch space between them. This is to keep them from touching each other while on display. The distance between the the center of one glass to another is how you will need to measure how far apart the racks will need to be.


3. Build the center racks by cutting a 1-by-6 piece of wood. You will need to have the measurements of the space under your cabinet to know how to measure the wood. You can make an angled cut at the face of the wood for a more detailed look or use a router to make a rounded more classy look depending on your preference. Make sure that the cut is ¼-inch around the edge and 2¼ inches at the face.


4. Build the end racks by cutting a piece of 1-by-6 wood 3⅛ inches wide. Cover the top of that piece of wood with felt material.


5. To install you can use a counter sinking drill bit and drill from the outside of your cabinet you can drill in to make the screws flush with the outside or recess the to put in a wooden plug. Make sure that you have installed it correctly and safely.
