A wine rack’s lifespan depends on its material and usage. High-quality wood or metal racks can last decades if properly maintained, with minimal exposure to moisture or extreme temperature fluctuations. Plastic or particle board racks may wear out more quickly, especially under heavy use. Racks in climate-controlled environments typically last longer than those in fluctuating conditions. Regularly check for loose screws or signs of wear to keep the rack secure. With periodic maintenance, even basic wine racks can last 10–20 years, while durable, custom-built racks may serve you for a lifetime.
