The essential criteria for choosing well
In order to make the right choice in your wine shelf, it is important to consider several criteria. First of all, it is essential that the storage capacity be adapted to your needs.
Then, accessibility is also an important point to consider. Indeed, easy to catch bottles help limit the risk of deterioration. For example, an inclined presentation can be a great way to highlight your labels while making it easier to grip.
Subsequently, ergonomics is an equally essential element. Indeed, a scalable wine shelf will allow you to adjust the highlighting of your new vintages within the wine racks or to change depending on seasonality.
Finally, very important point especially when you are a professional, the solidity of the furniture is very important. Indeed, no one wishes to reinvest in furniture every year. That is why, we advise you to favor solid wood wine shelves in order to ensure a long shelf life.
Which material to favor?
The choice of material will have a great impact on the aesthetics and durability of your wine shelf.
As mentioned previously, solid wood is an excellent compromise between robustness and elegance. The latter will bring to your shelf and shop a touch of authenticity. Solid wood is an excellent choice for wine cellars, delicatessens or even restaurants.
The metal adds, for its part, an industrial touch. This material is often used for minimalist structures or to reinforce wine shelves. It is a resistant and durable material.
Finally, glass and composite materials are sometimes used. Nevertheless, the latter offer less resistance than solid wood or even metal.
