Set aside a spot for storing wine.

When you’re getting ready to remodel your kitchen, the first thing you’ll need to consider is where to put your wine. If you’re just getting started with wine, some separate racks or shelves should do the trick. But if you’re a real connoisseur, you’ll need something more custom-made – like floating shelves, built-in racks, or a kitchen island with storage. If you want to stay stylish, look into getting some modular cupboards and shelves – they come in all kinds of colors and materials, and they’re gonna be really popular this year. If you can afford it, you could even invest in a temperature/humidity-controlled wine fridge, a pantry makeover, or even a full-blown wine cellar in the basement!

Keep your vino in a cool, shady spot to preserve its quality.

When planning a kitchen remodel, it’s important to know where to store your wine. If you’re just getting into the wine scene, a few racks or shelves will do, but more serious collectors will want something more special. Floating shelves, kitchen island storage, and built-in wine racks are great options for keeping it tidy. If you want to be up-to-date with current trends, look into modular kitchen cupboards and shelves. And if your budget allows, you can get a wine fridge, pantry renovation, or even a cellar.

Improve your wine-tasting game by giving your sommelier station a boost.

If you’re a wine lover, you know that entertaining and showing off your love of vino is the best. Setting up a wine bar is a great way to put all your wine stuff together and make it easier to serve up drinks and keep things running smoothly. If you can, include a sink and some smart storage solutions in your kitchen so everything is in one place. Make sure your bar is well-stocked with glasses, carafes, bottle openers, trays, and plenty of bottles of your favorite wine. And if you like getting creative, your bar should have everything you need to make cool drinks like wine slushies and other wine cocktails.

Show off your stemware to make it look even more stunning.

As your wine collection grows, you’ll definitely need more and varied glasses for different types of wines. Wine glass storage is important, but it can also look really nice. If you’re remodeling your kitchen, think about installing cabinets with glass fronts, open shelves, or even hanging wine glass storage to protect and show off your goblets, flutes, and Burgundy glasses. If you have a bar area in your kitchen, it’s a great place to store and display your stemware – plus, it looks really professional and makes entertaining much easier.
