Crafted from Acacia hardwood, this 8-bottle rack is significantly denser and harder than those made from pine or bamboo. The "X-frame" design is naturally resistant to "racking"—the tendency for shelves to lean to one side under weight. The interlocking joints rely on gravity and precision fitting rather than screws, which means there are no metal parts to rust if the rack is kept in a cool, damp wine cellar.
The Acacia wood features a natural oil finish that acts as a moisture barrier, protecting the wood from spills or humidity. The interior curves of the bottle cutouts are chamfered and sanded to prevent any damage to the bottle foil or paper labels. For the best stability, it is recommended to place heavier bottles in the bottom slots to keep the center of gravity low. The joints may be tight during initial assembly, so ensuring they are fully seated will provide the most level surface for your bottles.
- Acacia hardwood offers high resistance to scratches and glass impact.
- Screw-free assembly eliminates the risk of stripped threads or rust.
- Chamfered edges protect wine labels from scuffs and tears.
If you need a larger 14-bottle capacity for a similar countertop footprint, the Modern Black Metal Rack provides high-density storage in a different material. Find more natural wood and metal storage solutions in our wine bottle holders collection.
