Editor's Notes
July 22, 2019:
While we loved the look of the modern Kamenstein Butterfly and the charming touch the LTD Wine Rack brings to a space, we felt that their quality was not quite up to snuff after numerous complaints lodged against their durability. Instead, we added the Sorbus Universal because we felt a budget-friendly model that's meant for the fridge would be convenient for anyone who enjoys white, sparkling, and rose wines chilled, and the J.K. Adams Ash, an attractive, sturdy choice that can hold a whopping forty bottles. We also upgraded the Seville Classics Stackable to its newest iteration.
When it came to construction and materials, we opted for solidly-built stainless steel, wood, metal, and wrought iron materials with protective finishes that weren't too tricky to put together or arrived already assembled. We also favored items with warranties and options that included all the hardware required for assembly, as well as ones that only needed simple tools that anyone would have lying around.
We particularly love the Mango Steam Table Top for its additional counter space, on which you can keep accoutrements such as wine savers and electric openers. This extra function is also a boon in small apartments or crowded rooms.
The Wine Enthusiast Renaissance remains at the top spot thanks to its large capacity, excellent craftsmanship, security functions, and beautiful vintage aesthetic.
