As I was perusing Pottery Barn I saw this wine rack. They want 79-159.00 and knew I could come up with a DIY version in SketchUp. And thats what I did. For the cost of one 3/4" 2'x2' piece of plywood, which should cost under $20, you can make this simple PB inspired wine rack yourself.
Please note: I have not tested these plans yet so if you make it and find an error please let me know. I will update it if/when I make it.

24"x24"x3/4" plywood
1" hole saw
1 @ 24"x5"
1 @ 24"x9 1/4"
1 @ 24"x5 1/2"
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
At first this may look daunting but I assure you, if you just measure, place the appropriate guide marks in pencil, and then use a hole saw it will be a breeze.
Take your 5 1/2" piece and measure from one long edge down one inch.
Make a guide mark all the way down your piece
Now measure and mark at 4" intervals using the short edge. You should have 5 guide marks across your board now.
Now measure and mark at 2" intervals using the short edge. You should have 6 of these marks across your board now.
Where your 1" down guide mark meets your 2" guide marks only, use a drill and cut a 1" hole.
Repeat across until you have six holes.
Once done, run it through the table saw at the 1" down guide mark carefully to keep a straight edge.
You just completed the notches that your wine bottles will rest in!
Now attach the front to the bottom with 1 1/4" ph screws and your done!
Its now complete you just need to stain or paint it!
Let me know if there are any errors and I will fix them. Hope you like it :)
Hysterical! I was just looking at this and the glass rack on PB online and decided I would "draft" some plans myself! My next stop was Ikea online (for inspiration) and then I popped in here to see what was new and I couldn't stop laughing when these plans were front and center on the front page! I love it! gotta make it! I was planning on using 1x8, 1x4, and 1x6 to make it.
Do you have plans posted for the wine glass shelves to match? I can't find them. Please & Thanks!
So on your plans you have the front finish height at 5" when on the cut list it clearly shows that finished height will end up being 5 1/4 " . Does the 1/4 inch matter much or ?
Ok just finished rack and found that the front needs to be screwed to the front of the 9 1/4 " board otherwise the bottles will not fit
Ok after looking closer at the finished rack I am going to shorten the front to 3" and attach it to the front of the 9 1/4" bottom instead of on top which you show in your design which I believe will look better and give enough room for the bottles to fit
