You can find a variety of wine glass racks in stores, but due to the varying shapes and sizes of many glasses today, it can be difficult to find the perfect rack. Putting together your own rack is relatively quick and easy. This will allow you to create the perfect display for your individual collection of stemware.
Instructions
Measuring Your Supplies
- 1
Count and measure your wine glasses. You will need to know the width of the base of the glass, the stem of the glass and the cup at the widest place.
2Measure various wire glass racks. These can be found at most hardware stores as well as online. You will need to make sure that the stem of the glass will fit in the rack, and that the base of the glass is wide enough to keep it from falling.
3Calculate how many glasses will fit in each rack. Allow for at least half an inch between glasses to ensure that they will not fall.
4Calculate how large the base of your rack needs to be. This will depend on how long your wire rack is, and how many racks you will need to accommodate all of your glasses.
5Determine how many screws you will need. Depending on the style of wire rack you choose, you may need two or four screws per rack. You will also need screws to attach the bracket to the shelf and to the wall.

10Attach the brackets to each end of the shelf.
11Find a stud in the wall, and hang your wine glass rack using the brackets.
