There is a difference between "cheap wine racks" and ones that are made cheaply. A made cheap wine rack is of poor quality. Often these cheap wine racks are made with sub-grade materials, and packaged with incomplete or hard to understand instructions. In short, they display shoddy workmanship.

This is not the case with a "cheap wine rack" in the financial sense. By this, we mean a high quality wine rack that is priced to be a deal for those on a limited budget. Rather than calling these cheap wine racks, we prefer to call them low cost wine racks.

These wine racks come with complete easy to understand directions, and are made of quality materials. Some, in fact, are very striking to look at as well....almost works of art in their own right.

On the other hand, cheap made wine racks will need to be replaced in a few years due to poor construction. Moreover, it could fail under the weight of even a small wine collection....and the result could be the breakage of your budding wine collection and a huge mess. It might seem like a money conserving purchase to buy a cheap made wine rack, but in the end, you might lose that special wine you intend to collect and store for years before enjoyment.

A low cost wine rack, by contast, can often be a rack of good steady construction. It is easy to assemble, and functional. However, unlike a more expensive cedar or fir wood wine rack, most low cost wine racks should reside in the basement or out of view. Cheap wine racks will generally not have the attention to detail that makes wine racks esthetically pleasing. In addition, it might have mismatched wood grains, which would show if stained. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule.

By adding only a few dollars to your total cost, however, you would be able to purchase a strong durable wood wine rack or small stylish metal one and have it around for many years. For pennies on the dollar, you could purchase a better quality item.

If you want to buy a small wine rack that only holds a few bottles, you can get some stunning ones for a very inexpensive price. Some of these will sit atop a table in your kitchen or can be easily mounted on the wall.

In short, there are many quality low cost wine racks available for every budget, so don't make the mistake of buying a poorly designed one one just to save a few dollars. Start with a small cedar or fir wine rack, for example, and add to it each year. They are completely stackable, and very durable. Or buy a small metal one that is pleasing to the eye, holds a few bottles, and costs in the range of only 50 dollars or so....and will last for years.

Customer Review: Great Gadget

I got this as a Christmas gift and am amazed with the ease of use! Being novice wine drinkers, my husband and I had been destroying corks and were generally frustrated with corkscrews before this was given to me. My mother has had one for a couple of years and thought it would be a nice addition to my kitchen. Easy to use, discharges corks cleanly and keeps cork out of my wine. I am enjoying the opener.

Customer Review: Easy as pie! Love it!

The electric wine opener is so easy to use and really works great. I loved it so much that I went out and bought one for my in-laws as well.

Touted as the world’s fastest cork remover on the QVC Shopping Network, the Insta-Pull is also the cheapest of the lever-style wine openers. However, the low price doesn’t reflect the high quality of this corkscrew: The Insta-pull has all-metal gears and an ergonomically designed non-slip polycarbon handle and received an "Excellent" rating by a top consumer magazine. To use the Insta-pull, crank the lever back to set the gear. Next, place the cork remover over your wine bottle and crank the lever up and down a few times to insert the screw or "worm" into the cork. The last step requires you to simply flip the handle up and back to remove your cork. Another crank of the lever while holding the grips together resets the gears and a final upward pull releases the cork from the Insta-pull. This cork remover is an excellent buy for wine lovers who desire a quality engineered product at a low price. The Insta-pull comes with a bonus foil cutter and additional worm and is covered by a limited 90-day warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

The Estate combines speed, functionality and beauty.Uncorks and recorks a bottle of wine in seconds. Features an ornate design of graqpevines and clusters of grapes. Can be mounted on a bar or table or on an optional table stand.

Customer Review: Doesn't work at all!

This expensive and attractive opener isn't worth anything as it DOES NOT WORK to open wine bottles at all. The auger is wide and thick and cannot pierce the cork. Instead, the auger 90% of the time PUSHES the cork down into the bottle. It also takes a huge amount of effort to get the auger to work its way into the cork (or pushing down the cork). DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS OPENER! The company says it sells "hundreds" of these every year, but I wonder if anyone ever uses it! They will not refund your money as they don't sell it directly...so you have to request a refund through the vendor you purchased it from. DON'T BUY AT ANY PRICE!!

After undergoing 1500 dishwasher cycles, Spiegelau stemware was certified as ???extremely dishwasher safe??? by an independent laboratory. They found no scratching, markings, loss of brilliance, foggy shadows, change in color or brilliance or build up of water chemicals and residue. Spiegelau???s remarkable durability can be attributed in large part to the Platinum Glass process. As the glass goes from its powder to its liquid stage, liquid glass is passed through platinum-lined tubes to eliminate any impurities and remove all imperfections and inconsistencies that might otherwise exist. (Platinum prevents leaching that may occur from other equipment linings) While more expensive, this innovative use of technology proves Spiegelau???s commitment to quality. The result is a "high performance" wine glass with a remarkable marriage of elegance, functionality and durability.
