Choosing a bottle holder (cargo) for the kitchen. 20 examples with photos

What is a bottle bottle

A bottle holder is a pull-out vertical drawer with wire shelves. It is built into the upper or lower part of the kitchen, the front side is covered with a facade. It extends thanks to telescopic guides.

To organize such a space, you will need cabinets, drawers and special storage systems.

Simply put, this is a cabinet for bottles in the kitchen.

Purpose

You can use a bottle holder or cargo container to store various things. It all depends on its location. The main thing is to be comfortable. In a bottle holder near the hob you can put different types of oils, vinegars, sauces and other bulk and liquid substances that are stored in vertical, tall containers. Pots and pans can be arranged similarly.

You can store various kitchen utensils in a bottle holder.

If you install such a storage place near the sink, it is convenient to keep towels and detergents. Closer to the dining area you can install a bottle holder for wines, water, other drinks and glasses.

Kinds

Bottlemakers are distinguished according to several criteria:

• installation method;
• design features;
• content types.

Installation method

Bottle holders can be built-in or free-standing. The first ones are suitable for installation in any cabinet. The only nuance that needs to be taken into account is the matching dimensions of the kitchen set and the bottle holder.

Freestanding sliding wardrobes can be installed anywhere. They don’t have to be hidden in the kitchen set; they are completely independent elements. These cabinets can be placed next to the dining table or hung on the wall if necessary.

Bottle cabinet for the kitchen

Cargo, or bottle holder, is a multifunctional addition to the kitchen set, which is a pull-out rack with narrow fenced shelves . This is a metal basket twisted from thick wire, equipped with a facade to match the furniture and built into the lower or upper cabinet. Cargo is suitable for storing wine and other bottles. The retractable structure is easy to install and very convenient to use.

Purpose and types

Bottlemakers are classified according to several criteria. Let's talk about all the features of cargo.

Design

The first type of design is built-in. Such a bottle holder is made for installation in a kitchen set, taking into account the specific dimensions of the cabinet or table of which it is planned to be a part.

Autonomous cargo is the second design option, placed near the headset or dining group. Their sizes and shapes vary. Bottle holders are made closed and open: a closed design is more practical, an open design is more convenient.

Size and number of shelves

The standard cargo width is 10-15 cm. The height of the product depends on the specific set and the place where the structure for wine bottles is supposed to be built. The height of the cargo can reach up to 2 m. Careful measurements are necessary if you plan to integrate the bottle holder into the kitchen set. This is an additional design that should not interfere, stand out from the overall interior with design and extra centimeters.

The height of the internal shelves is determined by the purpose of the cargo. The standard shelf height is considered to be 25-30 cm. Sometimes it reaches half a meter. A standard bottle holder has two rows of shelves designed to store wine bottles. There are cargoes with three rows, in which spices and small auxiliary items are stored. There are multi-level structures, the height of which is equal to a standard cabinet.

The number of sections in different models varies - 4, 5 or more . Sometimes cargo is equipped with additional functional elements: plastic trays, pallets, hooks and hangers for vertical storage of dishes and towels.

The dimensions of the bottle holder are determined based on the parameters of the kitchen furniture. The height of the cargo is subject to the height of the drawers of the set in which it is built (standard - 80-85 cm). The width varies from narrow models of 10 cm to wider ones - 15, 20, 25 cm, depending on the available space. A free-standing cabinet for bottles can be of any size, but it also depends on the availability of free space in the kitchen.

Content

Cargo does not have a strict standard; the product is universal and performs many useful functions. The ability to choose a design based on the type of content makes the bottle holder an attractive element of the interior. They produce models for storing wine bottles, jars of spices, household chemicals, dishes, and towels. There are combined options with compartments of different sizes. Built-in containers, hooks and crossbars make the cargo as convenient and functional as possible.

Mounting method

Bottle holders are equipped with a roll-out or retractable mechanism with a closer. The mounting method can be bottom or side, with roller supports. Cargo is mounted on the upper or lower drawers of the set, depending on the available free niche. Sometimes the structure is attached to the inside of the opening cabinet door.

Addition. The retractable mechanism with a closer closes the cargo reliably and silently, without popping, at a moderate speed. Roller supports automatically return the pulled out cabinet to its place, saving time and effort.

The side mounting system is considered the most convenient, reliable and therefore the most common. Attaching to the top drawers allows you to fill empty corners, give the set a finished look and add functionality. The lower cargo fastenings are practical - a pull-out useful cabinet will always be at hand.

Optimization of kitchen work

The design, construction and purpose of the cargo are different, but the purpose of this practical addition is the same - to rationally use the free space. In addition to its direct purpose, namely storing wine bottles, modern cargo can contain various little things needed in the kitchen. The bottle holder provides order and helps organize numerous jars. Ergonomically positioning seasonings, grains and utensils speeds up the cooking process, saves time and effort and eliminates the feeling of clutter.

Benefits of using a bottle storage structure

Advantages of the bottle holder:

1. Order. A small built-in element allows you to place on its shelves a lot of necessary little things that otherwise occupy the surfaces of tables.
2. Optimization. Various design options allow you to integrate cargo into any kitchen set. Straight and corner bottle holders fill empty niches in the set, creating a single furniture ensemble.
3. Rationality. Capacious bottle holders free up space in the kitchen, which can be used for additional household appliances.
4. Choice. Cargo is produced from different materials - steel, wood, plastic. There is the right model for any design and headset.
5. Ergonomics. A silent and spacious pull-out cabinet saves time and makes kitchen work easier.

However, the bottle holder also has disadvantages:

1. Instability. A narrow box must be filled as much as possible - uneven and partial filling affects the stability of the structure.
2. Difficulty in cleaning. Cleaning up a narrow cabinet filled with various small items is not easy and not always convenient.
3. High price. High-quality cargo with a durable mechanism is not cheap.

Design Features

Bottle holders differ in the number of shelves. The most popular boxes are those with two levels; they are very functional and allow you to store tall bottles.

There are many types of bottle holders.

Three-tier bottle holders are more suitable for small containers, since the space between shelves will be limited.

Type of content

The bottle holder is a multifunctional device. You can store various containers, dishes, and cleaning products in it. It is convenient to use combined sections with different fastenings. Then there will be, for example, small jars on the shelf, and towels on holders on top.

Kitchen bottle sizes

You need to select the size of the bottle holder based on its location. It is important to maintain its functionality and ease of use. Today, furniture stores offer a wide selection of such storage systems; you can choose the right size for any kitchen.

It looks like an ordinary cabinet, it moves forward, and it is very convenient to place all kinds of cans in it.

Depending on the size of the cabinet, you can keep everything from small containers to dishes in it.

Standard dimensions

Standard cargo comes in widths of 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm. They are suitable for ready-made kitchens. Such cabinets will include bottles, tall containers for cereals, oils and sauces. Narrow bottle holders are convenient to place in small kitchens where it is important to save space. They fit everything you need without any frills.

Thoughtful storage systems, cabinets and niches in the kitchen help keep things organized without much effort.

Non-standard options

If the kitchen is made to order according to individual measurements, then the cargo for it can be selected in a non-standard width. In a spacious kitchen you can install a vertical cabinet of 250 mm or more. This bottle holder can already be used to store dishes and other large items.

Custom bottle holders decorate the kitchen.

The filling can be adjusted according to needs by choosing the necessary fasteners. These can be holders for mugs, lids, small pots and cutlery. If desired, the structure can be made more than 400 mm wide; it will no longer be a bottle holder, but a retractable basket. It will accommodate larger dishes and kitchen utensils.

Cargo installation method

Differences in cargo models are possible not only in their sizes and methods of fastening, but also in the location and number of shelves. For installation, you can choose one of three options:

The most common is side mounting. The design is securely fastened in the closet; in addition, the façade can be adjusted if necessary.

If the basket is very heavy and large, it must be secured from below. Such a bottle holder will look like a retractable platform on rollers.

If the storage area is equipped in a side drawer, it is necessary to use a rotating fastening method. This method has only one disadvantage - expensive installation and the high cost of the mechanism itself.

How to choose the right size

The size of the cargo depends on the dimensions of the kitchen. When creating a project, you need to think about where such a design will best fit. A symmetrical arrangement looks harmonious when there is a stove or cabinet between the bottle holders.

The functionality of this system is to conveniently store bottles.

Another factor influencing the choice of size is the purpose. Consider what you will store in the cargo, whether the minimum width is enough for you or whether you need more. The main method of storage in the kitchen is still cabinets, so there is no need to sacrifice them in favor of cargo. This is a convenient addition, not a replacement.

Cargo systems include not only bottle holders, but also convenient modules for storing kitchen utensils.

Construction quality and façade type

In order not to choose a low-quality bottle holder, you need to make sure that at the time of purchasing the mechanisms and the box itself there are no chips, cracks, or dents at the joints and on the coating.

Mounting methods

Bottle holders are attached in two ways:

• lateral;
• lower

The first is considered more reliable, with the guides located on the side of the shelves. It is believed that this method is more convenient; it allows installation from any side. But this mount is suitable for narrow cargo up to 200mm.

The fastening of additional parts occurs on a completely finished product.

The lower mount is used when a large basket needs to be installed. It is located under the box, can support more weight and allows you to place the cabinet anywhere in the kitchen.

Bottom cabinet

A bottle holder with any fastening can be built into the lower cabinet. It will be convenient to use for storing liquids and cooking utensils. It is optimal when it is located near the stove or oven. This mounting option is used most often.

A spacious vertical storage system will save you a lot of useful space in the kitchen.

Upper cabinet

The side-mounted bottle holder can be installed in an overhead cabinet. Here you can place some of the dishes, glasses and other utensils. Top cargo is relevant for kitchens of tall people, because reaching the top shelf of a vertical cabinet can be difficult.

An original option for storing bottles.

Column cabinet

If the project allows, a column cabinet is placed in the kitchen. This bottle holder occupies the space from the floor to the top of the wall cabinet. Its height is 1600-1800mm, with a width of 150-200mm. The number of sections here has been increased.

When using such a storage system, you will notice how convenient it is to use.

If a standard bottle holder has two, maximum three shelves, then a column can have four or five. It is optimal if there are additional fastenings inside for storing various utensils. If desired, such a column can be installed next to the refrigerator.

This is a universal location option in any kitchen; it does not require uniform facades. This solution will save space in a small room.

Autonomous

A freestanding bottle holder looks like a narrow cabinet on legs or wheels. It can be placed in a convenient place and moved if necessary. Cargo will help save a lot of energy if you place it near the dining area.

Autonomous bottle holders look very nice.

Inside, put the necessary little things that people often forget to bring to the table, and this way they will always be at hand.

Why do you need a bottle holder in the kitchen?

• The bottle maker (cargo) is very loved by its owners.
• The functional purpose of the installed compact box-basket is to store containers with various products.
• A bottle holder for the kitchen allows you to make maximum use of space when designing a kitchen set.
• Installed in a convenient place, it saves time and effort during the cooking process.

The convenient arrangement of the bottles allows you to quickly, without distraction from cooking, get the desired liquid or spices. There is no need to look for the required container among other products. All actions are performed almost mechanically.

By choosing a certain order for installing the bottles, you can avoid closing the drawer at all during cooking. You will have a pull-out chef's table. All tools are at hand, which creates great convenience. At the end, with one movement of the hand, the space is freed by pushing it into place. In this case, the bottle holder is placed near the stove.

The second shelf usually stores kitchen supplies that are hard to find a place for. In this case, the cargo is placed closer to the sink.

Making a bottle holder with your own hands

If you decide to make a bottle holder with your own hands, you must first go through all the steps, as when choosing a ready-made system. You need to decide on the size and location of it.

Preparation for the process

1. The cargo can be placed inside the cabinet, then it will be closed by the door. It is important to carry out the calculations correctly so that the retractable system works fully.
2. You can change the facades of the entire set and get a bottle holder as a separate element, placing it between the cabinets.
3. If the first two options are not suitable, you can make a vertical box that stands alone and place it in any convenient place.

Having chosen the appropriate option, you need to create a drawing of the future product.

Necessary materials

Wooden, MDF, chipboard panels or ordinary plywood are suitable for making bottle holders. It is necessary to cut out parts from a sheet of the selected material, from which the box will then be assembled. You also need to figure out what the facade will be made of.

It happens that kitchen cabinet fittings break.

We buy accessories:

• front drawers with integrated closers;
• railing handles;
• guide system.

Special fittings are used for sliding mechanisms.
Fastenings are usually included with the fittings, but sometimes they are missing. This nuance must be taken into account and checked so that, if necessary, you buy everything you need before starting assembly.

For drawers, different types of guides are used. One of them is roller.

In the store we also purchase the cargo design itself. The device and assembly diagrams must be attached along with it.

Step-by-step plan for assembling a bottle holder

How to assemble a bottle holder in a kitchen set yourself?

1. First, we take measurements.
2. We cut out parts of the required size from the selected material.
3. Let's start assembling the part to which we will attach the cargo.
4. We attached the lower and upper ones to the side one.
5. We mark the points where the guides will be attached, and check that the work done is correct. Cut out the holes.
6. We install the guides.
7. We fasten the remaining parts of the bottle holder.
8. Install the door according to the instructions

A three-tier one is perfect for small cans and containers, but a two-tier one for bottles.
Helpful Tips:

1. It is better not to give up closers when making a bottle holder. Their presence will make operation much more comfortable.
2. Special soft dividers inside the shelves will help optimize storage, and bottles and containers will not rattle.
3. It is important not to overload the bottle holder. Standard small cargo bags are not designed to carry more than 15 kg and may break.
4. High-quality fittings are a prerequisite for beautiful furniture. Cheap materials quickly wear out and rust.

The most important thing when making a bottle holder yourself is to take correct measurements and draw a drawing. Inaccuracies at this stage can ruin all further work.

A standard bottle holder looks like this.

In some cases, the best solution is to hire a professional to do the job for you. This way you will avoid mistakes, save your nerves and strength.

Tips - how to avoid mistakes

A few tips to help you avoid making a number of common mistakes:

• You should not skimp on closers - this element makes filling more convenient and reduces noise in the kitchen.
• Special bottle holders will make the bottle holder even quieter. With them, glass containers will not ring upon contact.
• During design, pay attention to load calculations. Narrow modules can support up to 20 kg.
• Buy fittings from trusted manufacturers at certified outlets or well-known online stores, such as Leroy Merlin. It is better to buy a reliable mechanism without fine-tuning than a more functional one, but of dubious quality.

When making it yourself, it is important to take the dimensions correctly and not make mistakes later when marking. Before drilling or cutting anything, it is better to double check. If you have doubts about your own capabilities, it is better to entrust some of the work to a master. You can calculate the detailing, cut the blanks to size and glue the edges at most furniture assembly companies.

Advantages of self-production

If you make a bottle holder yourself, there are no size restrictions. You can create a storage system that will satisfy all your needs. At the same time, you will be able to save money, because you will not have to pay the craftsmen for the work. The design of the cargo also depends entirely on your taste and requirements.

A bottle holder is a convenient addition to the functionality of the kitchen. It allows you to save space without sacrificing storage space.

Cleaning will become easier because you don’t have to constantly sort through and put small items in their places.

This design can be placed at the level of upper or lower cabinets, as a column or as a separate element. It can be located in different zones, on which its content will depend.

If for some reason you don’t want to buy a ready-made bottle holder or make one to order, you can try to assemble it yourself. This task requires certain skills, but in general, the process is not difficult, and the result will please you every day.

What kind of kitchen is a cargo bottle holder suitable for?

This piece of furniture is ideal as a useful space-filler for any kitchen module. This practical, spacious basket is ideal for non-standard, small-sized kitchens.

For example, you decided to save money and bought a ready-made kitchen. There is still free space between the cabinet and the wall, or there is an empty corner between the cabinets. The situation will be saved by a bottle holder for the kitchen with a façade that matches your color and texture.

We suggest starting your search by choosing the type of mounting for the retractable system.

Tabletop bottle holders

A separate group is represented by stands for bottles, intended for festive table setting and placing bottles of alcoholic beverages in them. These products have an aesthetic rather than a functional purpose. The stand ensures the correct placement of the bottles and should be a table decoration.

Various materials are used to make tabletop decorative products:

• glass ones are used for temporary storage of dishes filled with wine and cannot provide the required temperature conditions for storing alcoholic beverages;
• products woven from metal wire are quite decorative and have a low cost;
• plastic models are intended not only for special occasions, but can also be used to conveniently place bottles on the table, preventing them from tipping over - the temperature regime of alcoholic beverages can be ensured by placing these samples on the shelves of the refrigerator;
• wooden samples are an excellent addition to the festive table setting and are in perfect harmony with the wooden cladding of classic living rooms;
• forged bottle stands are highly stable, harmonize perfectly with candlesticks - an invariable attribute of any romantic party and can be a wonderful gift for any gourmet.

In addition, modern models of tabletop stands for wine bottles can be made from a combination of different materials.

Accessories for smooth exit of bottle holders

The retractable opening system that these designs are equipped with is very convenient and ensures simple and safe use. Closers perform quiet, smooth closing of the door. The cabinet itself goes to meet the owner, and, having coped with its role as a food delivery person, silently disappears into the depths of the cabinet.

Model with closers

These storage systems also differ in purpose.

There are storage systems:

1. bottles;
2. towels - equipped with towel holders;
3. baking sheets - the design includes special holders for baking sheets;

The upper tier can be used for jars of spices, and the lower for storing bottles of wine or olive oil.

The package may include bottle separators - unique metal half rings. Their purpose is to preserve the integrity of bottles, ensure contactless proximity of oils, mineral water and juices, and also eliminate ringing from accidental contact of glass.

Don't forget to also purchase bottle separators.

Ordering and installing a bottle basket yourself is not difficult. Each kit is supplied with guides, fasteners, and installation instructions.
