Not everyone is storing wine in a fancy cellar. Whether you're a wine collector or simply enjoy sipping a glass or two with friends, we have smart storage solutions for every budget.
We may not all have the funds or space for a built-in cellar. However, there's something elegant and sophisticated about displaying a wine collection. Here, we've gathered a few creative, unique and budget-friendly options for storing your wine at home.
If running out to purchase a wine cooler or an expensive rack isn't your thing, you're not alone! Many fellow wine lovers have gotten pretty creative when it comes to storing their bottles. One of the quirkiest ideas we've found is this Mailing Tube Wine Rack project from ReadyMade magazine.
The tubes were cut to fit the space and carefully layered under a shelf to ensure maximum support. While it may not be the most attractive options, we give the genius behind this idea props for making use of such a mundane material.
View the slideshow above for wine storage solutions.

Over at Apartment Therapy we found another creative use of an interesting material, this time it was stainless steel rods. Lauren and Eric Wendlandt of Framework Design through-bolted the rods onto a walnut wood wall, spacing each so that the wine bottles would be properly supported.

A more practical approach could be this clever vertical wine rack, also spotted on Apartment Therapy. The DIY couple attached Vurm bottle holders from IKEA to three pieces of stained plywood, which rest on the floor and are anchored to the wall by another piece of plywood at the top and a shelf at the bottom. So clever!

If putting your bottles on display isn't important to you, try a few unexpected places to store them instead. Of course, we find this Wine Bar Treasure Trunk fascinating with its built in dividers, but really, you could use any storage piece. How about making room in the hinged ottoman in your living room, that built-in drawer underneath your bed or maybe it's time to repurpose your child's old toy box.
