Wine Racks America

What Wine Racks America does

Wine Racks America, Inc. is a US-based designer, manufacturer, and direct-to-consumer retailer of wine racks, wine cellar components, and related storage and cooling products, founded in 2003 and headquartered in North Salt Lake, Utah. The company's core offering centers on modular wood and metal racking systems under proprietary house brands including InstaCellar™, GrandCellar™, Living Series™, Millesime™, and WineSafe™, complemented by exclusive US distribution of VintageView metal wine racks and an expanding line of cellar doors, cooling units, and accessories. Pricing spans approximately $20 for small accessories to $1,710+ for large modular kits and $2,159+ for cooling units, with complementary custom cellar design services provided at no additional cost. The business employs 51-100 people and claims more than 40,000 customers and 70,000+ cellars built, protecting $2B+ in cumulative wine bottle value.

The company monetizes through transactional, project-driven sales via its Shopify e-commerce storefront, supplemented by phone-based sales support and a Preferred Partner Program targeting trade professionals. Primary customers are individual homeowners undertaking cellar or bar projects, with secondary exposure to hospitality, restaurants, wine retailers, builders, contractors, designers, and architects. The business is private and discloses no revenue. Operational maturity is reflected in 22+ years of continuous operation, US-based manufacturing, an in-house multi-brand portfolio, and recent category extensions (Stillwood Saunas, Bar & Beverage Collection, STACT and HD Metal sub-brands) that broaden the home-storage and beverage-merchandising footprint beyond pure wine racking.
