Built-In Wine Storage Ideas for Your Kitchen

If you fancy yourself a wine aficionado, there are few bigger luxuries than having built-in wine storage in your kitchen. It offers instant access to your favorite vintages, makes entertaining a cinch, and ensures your wine is properly stored at the right temperature and in the proper horizontal position. If you're redesigning your kitchen and are in need of inspiration for your wine storage, here are a few ideas we love.

Create a Wet Bar

Have room to spare? Create a wet bar area in the kitchen (preferably en route to dining or entertaining spaces) complete with a wine refrigerator or rack, a kitchen sink, and storage for glassware and bar tools.
