I had a plate rack installed in my custom kitchen several years ago.  At the time I wasn't into wine and though the plate rack would be nice with pretty plates in it.  Come to find out you can't even see the pretty side of the plates and all it did was collect dust.  Now that I have gotten into wine I decided to take the rods out that held the plates and put wine bottles in there but stacking them on top of each other really didn't work very well and I don't suggest it.  I got this wine rack because it first and foremost fit in the plate rack slot and second because it was not overly done, it is simple.  It holds a case of wine so I know when I need to head back to the store!  It looks great in place of my plate rack, I am extremely happy with my purchase!  I highly recommend it!
