Popular Wine Rack Woods

Most people will choose a wood that matches the decor of their wine cellar. Since a wine cellar should be cool and damp, you will need to choose a wood that is resilient to the elements so that it does not rot.

Some of the more popular woods used in wine cellars include redwood, western red cedar, red oak, and mahogany.

Redwood has proven to be very durable and stable, and it is easy to work with. Other advantages of redwood are that it maintains its beauty over the years and outlasts many other woods. Redwood also does not warp or split like some of the other types of wood. It is strong, but lightweight and is easy to saw, shape and drill. The color of redwood ranges anywhere from a creamy color to a dark cinnamon color.

The Western Red Cedar is a non-aromatic Cedar, as opposed to the type of cedar that emits an odor. (A wood with a strong aroma is not recommended as it can adversely effect the taste of your wine.) Western red cedar is known for its natural beauty and its strength. It does not create pitch and it will not decay. The color of this wood varies from rich, smooth amber shades to smoky cinnamons to deep sienna browns.

The red oak wood has a straight grain and is solid and heavy. The color ranges from white to a pink, reddish brown. It looks nice when stained and it can be finished to match almost any decor.

Mahogany is a very heavy and stable hardwood. Its coloring differs from a color that is not quite white to a deep brown color. The grain of the wood is straight and very shiny. This wood resists moisture and will not decay. This wood is easy to stain and finish.
