Floating Wine Shelves: Ideas for Kitchens, Bars and Dining Rooms

A live-edge solid wood floating wine shelf with bottles and stemware hanging below on a dining room wall

Quick answer: Hang wine shelves away from heat and direct sun, at a height where bottles and glasses are easy to reach (about 50–60 inches to the top shelf), and mount them into studs or masonry anchors. Live-edge shelves make the rack a piece of wall art.
