Find commercial wine racks that offer attractiveness and functionality

There is more to the formula than finding wine equipment that will store bottles. If the wine will be stored in view of customers, special attention should be paid to space, capacity and appearance.

I recommend: Consider commercial wine display racks from Vigilant, Inc., a company that specializes in the storage of fine products. Bottle capacity ranges from the hundreds to the thousands, depending on individual need. Vintage Cellars offers a wide variety of professional wine racking equipment, ranging from islands to glass-windowed display towers.

Save a bit of cash by shopping for used wine equipment

Purchasing used wine racking equipment saves not only money but time on building and design. Do your homework to ensure that the equipment is in good working order before purchasing.

I recommend: Browse the classifieds at Winebusiness.com. In their used equipment section, buyers can locate vendors selling not only used commercial racks but also a large variety of used winery equipment. Vinotemp International carries a selection of slightly used commercial wine racks with competitive discount pricing.

Consider warehouse wine storage for large bulk supplies

Professional warehoue wine storage facilities offer an ideal alternative for vendors with large-scale wine inventories. With services like temperature controlled storage and detailed inventory control, wine can be kept safely at these facilities and shipped when needed.

I recommend: Research facilities such as D. Sokolin Co. which offer Investment Grade Wine Storage. Here, wine is kept in ideal conditions with high-level security. Customers are sent condition reports on aspects such as fill level and label condition. West coast vendors can also contact facilities such as Groskopf Warehouse and Logistics that specialize in storage, distribution and consolidation.
