AT has featured some great wine rack roundups (here and here), so we thought we'd comb the archives for old and new ideas for the best small space solutions. Click below for wall-mounted racks, DIY ideas, built-ins, and space-savers...

Top: The Blomus Cioso Wine Rack stores bottles vertically, flush against the wall. Wine flanks both sides of the rack, creating storage for eight bottles.

The Gus Modern Acrylic Wine Holder has the same basic design as the Blomus Wine Rack, but the acrylic material makes it appear very lightweight and bottles can be stacked on one side of the rack.

We love degerkas' wine storage from the Spring Cure. She used the Tribeca Wine Rack with under-shelf stemware storage.

The Float Wall Shelf by Modern Cellar fits eight bottles in a space-saving design.

This Built-In Mailing Tube Wine Rack from Readymade could be easily implemented in a deep shelf or cabinet.

The Holman Entertaining Shelves from Pottery Barn are a clean, modern design that could be used on top of a table or mounted to the wall.

The Matrix Storage Cubes can be used as shelving in the living room, and the wine rack insert provides space for bottles.

The Cellar Wine Rack from CB2 (one cube with four cubbies) can create a built-in look above a shelf, in a cabinet, or in an alcove. For a larger space, use several of them together.

These Vintage View Wine Bottle Racks make vertically stacked wine bottles into a striking design element.

does anyone have any ideas for storing wine glasses [16 (or more) .... 8 white, 8 red (plus martini glasses)] in a small space? 1've pretty much run out of room in my kitchen cabinet.

The most efficient way to store stemware is probably to go the old-fashioned bar rack route - take the underside of a cabinet above some little-used counter space and add a few wine racks (from ikea: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20087163), or else mount some shelves on the wall for the sole purpose of adding wine racks to the undersides. The racks can also be made quite easily out of thin slats of wood - just make sure they're spaced wide enough to fit the base and secured well enough not to suddenly detach with all of your glasses.

Thanks, Christopher, Unfortunately I can't mount anything under my cabinets. They are not tall enough or I have a microwave sitting under them so there is still not enough space.

I also have tile on the walls of my kitchen and can't mount anything to the walls.

Brooke, have you looked in the more dining area of your home? If there is no space, its pretty impossible to make it... unless you can think of a way to rearrange stuff. :-)

We have a bunch of glasses in long storage for those times that people come over. Maybe store 4-6 at hand, and the other 10 away?

Love the felt rack, which I blogged at Living Small in February. And thanks for the link to the DIY version; I was wondering when a craftista would jump on the wine rack–design-wagon.
