Safely Store Your Wine Bottles With These Stackable Holders From Dollar Tree (Way Cheaper Than Amazon)

Wine is a kitchen essential, whether you are considering the best drink to serve alongside scallops or mixing up the Spanish cocktail kalimotxo with Coke and a sweet red. For both your future guests and your own enjoyment, it's prudent to keep a few bottles of vino on hand ... but, man, are they annoying to store. Having a dedicated wine fridge or rack is unattainable for many consumers due to a combination of cost and space; plus, sometimes, you only want to keep a few bottles in stock. We think we've found the space-saving solution for bottles of wine toppling or rolling around willy-nilly, and at Dollar Tree, of all places.

Just like one Dollar Tree item helped us organize all the water bottles in our kitchen, so will another find save your sanity when it comes to storing wine. The Storage Essentials Shatter-free and Stackable Clear Acrylic Wine Bottle Holders are, as the name suggests, stackable. They can also be placed side-by-side in nearly any configuration you desire. If you buy a few, you have a custom wine rack that can fit the unique dimensions of your counter space or pantry. Best of all, these holders are a screaming deal. As of this writing, they sell for just $1.50 apiece. On Amazon, a six-pack of near-identical bottle holders retails for $24.99, or $4.17 apiece. The durable, clear construction of the bottle holders will match with all the aesthetically pleasing clear plastic bins in your storage space, and they shouldn't break if you accidentally drop them.

Don't take our word on the matter that Dollar Tree's wine bottle holders are super useful. On the product page for the items, a burst of positive reviews speak to the utility of this cheap, multi-functional tool. "I decided to organize my pantry. The storage containers fit perfectly in my cabinets," one buyer reported. "From water bottles to wine bottles, everything is easily accessible and neatly organized." Another satisfied customer appreciated the sleek look: "Fantastic useful purchase which looked custom made for my refrigerator. Great price!" A third Dollar Tree customer, who attached an impressive photo of what looked like a couple dozen bottle holders neatly arranged, couldn't praise the items enough: "I bought this item a couple of months ago to start a shelf type wine rack. I love them. Easy to stack, durable material and cute for a clear color product. Holds the standard size wine bottles."

You don't need a sommelier on staff to keep your wine stored properly, nor do you need to treat your bottles any differently just because they are sub-$10 specials from Trader Joe's instead of rareified vintages that cost as much as your car. Wine bottles of all values appreciate being stored on their sides — and your Dollar Tree holders will do that for you! — in a cool space that's removed from direct light. You may not have ever realized that your neighborhood dollar store had the goods to keep your wine conveniently and appropriately stashed, and for less than two bucks to boot, but sometimes the truth can be a pleasant surprise.
