In most cases, the bottle holder is placed between the kitchen modules, held in place thanks to the side fastening. Also, cargo can be located separately from a series of modules. Has two or three levels. Bottle holders for the kitchen are small in size, so it is usually possible to fit only the most necessary items or those that are of collectible value; this is quite suitable for a small kitchen.
There are options for adding a bottle holder. Thanks to them, this element of the kitchen interior is a very functional thing that is used daily. There are small closers that serve for high-quality and safe closing of product doors, which allows you to store breakable items that require constant monitoring as securely as possible.
You can simply push the box, even with minimal force, and it will slam shut securely. The housewife gets rid of the sound of constant slamming when closing the doors, since the retractable device closes at a moderate speed, and when approaching the joint it slows down and almost silently closes with the body.
It is advisable to make sure that the selected model has bottle separators or purchase them yourself. They help not only to arrange products more aesthetically, but also to protect them from accidental falls while searching for a suitable drink. Also, even with sudden movement, the glass bodies of the bottles will not break from a collision, since they are reliably limited by the partition.
Bottle sizes
The purpose of cargo is to store bottles, so it can be compact in size. Most modern manufacturers make this element of the kitchen set with the preliminary expectation that it can also store other utensils, such as dishes, pots or even some food. You can find out how to choose a blender by following this link.
There is a classification of bottle holders by size:
- Large dimensions require boxes whose width exceeds 200 cm . The main section has several shelves in tiers. They are intended not only for bottles, but also for standard kitchen utensils. This cargo option allows you to save space, since you don’t have to purchase additional kitchen drawers.
- The average size exceeds 150 cm in width and reaches up to 200 cm. They are used for storing any boxes, powders; it is fashionable to store seasoning in jars, products or substances that are planned to be used in the near future. If a side fastening method is used, then these dimensions are considered maximum for its correct implementation.
- The most common type is 100 cm wide (narrow cabinets).
The bottle holder helps to significantly save space, as it is quite roomy and multifunctional. It can accommodate a large number of bottles. Usually in this case they are limited to them, but you can also place boxes of spices and other compact items
Varieties and design
First of all, it is worth noting that there are several types of this fittings.
They differ from each other in their sizes and methods of installation inside furniture. Moreover, each specific type may have its own separate purpose, not directly related to its name. Pull-out panel 100 mm wide
Dimensions
Typically, the size of a bottle holder for the kitchen is chosen solely for the convenience of placing this device in the cabinet (see also the article on the size of kitchen cabinets).
However, some manufacturers pay special attention to it, suggesting that it will become not only auxiliary equipment for storing small utensils, but also the main storage for plates and other small utensils
- Large boxes are usually made 200 mm wide. In this case, several shelves are located in the standard section. They are convenient for placing plates, cups, cutlery and a host of other kitchen items.
- Medium bottle holders are used for various boxes, jars, powders and other utensils. They have a lot of purposes and an optimal width of 150 mm. Moreover, this size can be considered the maximum when installing fittings using the side fastening method.
- The third most common bottle container width size is 100 mm. It is used in cases where it is necessary to save space in the volume of furniture. Moreover, its purpose justifies its name perfectly, since this device can only accommodate bottles, boxes of spices or small containers.
Pull-out panel 200 mm wide
Side mount
This type of similar fittings uses a fastening that involves placing guides on the side panel inside the cabinet. In this case, it is best to use devices with a width of no more than 150 mm.
This allows you to place the maximum amount of necessary kitchen utensils and at the same time does not provide a lot of space to overload the load-bearing elements.
- First you need to choose a kitchen cabinet where the bottle holder will be placed. In some furniture models, a separate compartment is allocated for this, but if you make the set yourself, then you can use any box in which an additional partition is simply installed.
- After this, the guides are secured to the inner wall using fasteners that are included with the device. If they are not available, then you can use small self-tapping screws designed for working on wood no more than 1 cm long.

- Next, you need to install the bottle holder itself, as shown in the instructions for this model.
- After this, you need to attach a pre-prepared facade panel, which will serve as a kind of door.
- If desired, you can attach a small handle to the resulting door.

Bottom mount
This device is much more practical than the one that uses a side mount. However, its price may be much higher.
This is due to the fact that this design requires the presence of a special trolley with rollers, on which the bottle holder itself is placed.
- The choice of installation location also differs from the first model. This device does not require a separate cabinet for the kitchen, but rather is designed to be installed between them.
- Depending on the specific model, it is necessary to secure the guides or cart using the instructions or the photo included in the manual. It is worth noting that there are many options for this action, and all of them are closely related to the selected design. That is why it is impossible to select general instructions for this stage of installation.
- When the bottle holder is fixed, a facade panel is attached to it, which matches the interior of the kitchen.
- After this, a handle is mounted on the resulting door, with the help of which the opening will be carried out.

Types of bottle accessories
The ease of use of the cargo depends on the size of the cargo.
Bottle holders differ from each other in several characteristics:
- Installation method.
- Number of levels.
- Purpose.
Installation method in the kitchen
- Built-in. They are an integral part of the entire kitchen set. They can be built into any adjacent drawer; before purchasing, you must also make sure that the parameters of the product best match the furniture in the kitchen.
- Autonomous. They can be installed anywhere, they are separate elements and are not part of the kitchen system. This feature helps not only to place this device in a practical way, but also to choose it in any color, texture, or even using a different style; for a fusion-style kitchen interior, you can use a Moroccan-style bottle holder - it all depends on your taste. It is possible to install such a bottle holder near the dining area. In this case, in addition to bottles, you can place the most necessary products in it.
Design Features
- Two-level. The most optimal and convenient version of the cargo form. Almost any bottle can be placed in the slots between both shelves without any problems.
- Three-level. They are less practical than two-level ones, but they allow you to put a lot of useful products in them. Most standard-shaped bottles will have to be laid on their sides, as they will not fit in a vertical position.
Type of content
- Bottle for spices and sauces;
- cargo for alcoholic beverages;
- bottle holder for water and other non-alcoholic drinks;
- cargo for storing baby juices, formulas and other feeding products. Can be installed in a specially designated place in the kitchen so as not to occupy drawers intended for storing food and appliances necessary for preparing food for adults;
- combined bottle holder;
- for serving wine.

Location options
Kitchen furniture designers name two conditions that influence the location of the cargo: The location of the cargo depends entirely on what will be stored in it. Household chemicals, kitchen towels, stored in a bottle holder are best placed near the sink.
Containers with frying oil, various jars of spices, sauces and everything that needs to be used for cooking are stored in cargo close to the stove. Boxes-baskets with canned food, drinking water, and frying pans are located near the kitchen work area.
Advice. A bottle holder in the form of a bar is best used near the dining area.
Selection of accessories
For self-assembly you will need guides. If you need to save money, take regular ones with ball bearings. If comfort is a priority, you need to choose one with a built-in system for finishing and automatic opening (by pressing) - a more expensive, but convenient option. You may also need handles for the façade.

How to choose and buy a bottle holder for the kitchen
The best option is when the presence of a bottle holder is provided for at the design stage of the kitchen set. However, if the furniture is already ready and you decide to buy and install cargo, then when choosing a design you need to take into account several basic criteria, which we will describe below.

Choosing a bottle holder in a kitchen set by size and number of shelves
When choosing cargo, you should take into account the dimensions of the structure and the box in which it will be mounted. The basket must be smaller than the internal width of the front, work cabinet or top cabinet
If this is a freestanding wine bottle holder, then you should take into account the dimensions of the room. The most popular baskets are with a width of 100 to 300 mm. The choice of basket largely depends on the dimensions of the cabinet
The choice of basket largely depends on the dimensions of the cabinet
It would be a good idea to decide on the required number of shelves for the bottle holder, which largely depends on the height of the structure. The most common options are retractable two or three-tier cargo. Baskets with two shelves are generally placed at the bottom. Tall bottles and containers are placed on the lower tiers, and the upper tiers are most often used to store small jars of spices and low containers.
A three-tier bottle holder is less practical, but it can store more different items. Some manufacturers offer designs with adjustable shelf heights.
There are also cargo with the number of shelves from 3 to 5 pieces. Similar designs are intended for cabinets.
Two-tier design
Cargo installation method
Kitchen bottle holders, in addition to the number of shelves, sizes and placement, also differ in the method of fastening. There are 3 installation options:
- Side. The most popular method of fastening cargo, which allows you to securely fasten the structure and adjust the facade. It is used at the stage of assembling a kitchen set and is more suitable for installing narrow baskets with a width of up to 250 mm. The side retractable mechanism is the most affordable option.
- Lower. This mounting option is suitable for heavy baskets with a width of up to 600 mm. A bottle holder with a bottom mounting method is a roller platform on which cargo is installed. The option is, of course, expensive, but such a storage system can be installed in any suitable kitchen cabinet.
- Turning. It is used when it is necessary to install the structure in a corner trapezoidal cabinet or cabinet. The disadvantage of this option is the high price, which is 2-3 times more than traditional mechanisms.
Cargo with swivel mechanism
Load capacity
When choosing cargo, you should consider what load it can withstand. For example, narrow bottle holders are designed for a weight of up to 12 kg, and baskets with a width of 300 mm - up to 40 kg
Therefore, it is very important to take this criterion into account when purchasing a structure
Pay attention to the load capacity
Construction quality and façade type
When purchasing a bottle holder, you should pay attention to the joints of the structure and the chrome plating of the basket. There should be no cracks or chips. The welded joint must be free of cracks and the coating must be free of chips.
The welded joint must be free of cracks and the coating must be free of chips.
It is also necessary to take into account the type of facade: framed from a profile or solid. The second option is preferable because it is more reliable and easier to install.
A solid facade is much easier to install than a frame one
Additional options
Of course, additional options increase the cost of the design, but also increase the comfort of use. These could be hooks, towel holders, borders, clips, dividers, etc. It is best if the basket is equipped with closers. These mechanisms allow the basket to move smoothly and silently.
Additional option in the form of separators
The manufacturer is also important, but it doesn’t always make sense to overpay for a brand. Now you can purchase designs from little-known companies that are just entering the market
In an effort to win the trust of consumers, they pay great attention to the quality of their products.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of cargo are:
- convenience (a lot of items are in one place);
- organizing the placement of a mass of small items (order);
- a wide range of shades, modifications and sizes (can be selected for a specific set or ordered);
- different materials of manufacture (models are made of wood, plastic, metal);
- the presence of corner options with the front part located at an angle of 45 degrees (convenience for integration into various modular kitchen systems);
- aesthetic appeal (modifications are ergonomic);
- freeing up space for household items (coffee machine, microfiber).
The disadvantages of bottle holders include:
- the need to completely fill the box (when partially loaded, it loses stability);
- impossibility of installation in particularly cramped spaces (the roll-out system is inconvenient in small-sized kitchens);
- correct placement and installation (otherwise the usefulness of the cargo is reduced);
- price of the product (such boxes, as a rule, are not cheap);
- inconvenience of cleaning shelves from dirt.
Let's sum it up
For many housewives, a bottle holder for the kitchen has become an integral part of the interior and a multifunctional element.
This element of kitchen design allows you to optimize the space of the room. The storage conditions for kitchen items are observed.
Saves time on cooking. This is due to the orderly arrangement of various containers and bags of products. Jars and other small things are not scattered in different places in the room. Cleanliness and order are maintained in the kitchen.
Buy or make
It's worth thinking carefully about whether you need a bottle holder in your kitchen. In some situations there is no room left for it, and I would not recommend sacrificing the capacity of more significant and practical cabinets.
I also do not recommend using free-standing cargo in a small kitchen. They require space, and with limited space it is impossible to get it.
Built-in bottle holders have many more objective advantages. The main thing is that the design allows you to accommodate a sufficient number of containers. And what often happens is that the kitchen furniture is tampered with, everything is sawed up and remade, and in the end the cargo only holds a few bottles. What to do with the rest is an open question.
A good solution might be to buy a kitchen whose design initially includes cargo. The specialist takes measurements of the kitchen, selects the equipment and materials for you, and includes a bottle holder in the drawing. In the place and in the sizes you need.
Buying such a kitchen is beneficial in many ways. You don’t have to break the design of the finished furniture and risk its integrity. Making a mistake can only ruin everything. Eliminating such consequences is even more difficult.
If you are planning a kitchen renovation and you consider it necessary to have a bottle holder, consider its availability in advance. It won't cost much more than integrating it after assembly. But the cargo will initially turn out to be part of the furniture. It will look harmonious and as practical as possible.
Do-it-yourself cargo or bottle holder is not always a necessary element. It can be replaced with a wine shelf, for example.

Making a bottle holder with 2 tiers from chipboard
The starting material is the one from which the entire kitchen is made, for example, chipboards:
- Parts of the required sizes for the trays and body are cut out.
- The necessary elements are connected to each other.
- Guides are attached to the walls of the box, which will be “rails” for the trays.
- The height of the top tray is determined by the wishes of the hostess.
- The blank sidewall acts as a rigid rack.
Chipboard can be replaced with plywood or wood. The main thing is that as a result you will have a spacious place in your kitchen to store your kitchen items.
What are bottle holders used for and where are they placed?
Surely there will be skeptics who doubt the need for cargo in the kitchen. They will argue their position by saying that they previously managed without a bottle holder, placing numerous containers and jars in sections of cabinets. However, was it convenient to quickly find the desired item and maintain order? The whole secret of cargo is ease of use and functionality.
Modern storage systems are thought out to the smallest detail and allow you to neatly arrange not only containers and bottles, but also detergents, cereals, frying pans, home canned goods and much more.
There is always a place for any attributes of culinary art in convenient and capacious bottle holders. Cargo not only provides significant savings in kitchen space due to the rational use of space, but also helps to avoid chaos when storing items necessary for the housewife.
Various places are used to place sectional storage:
- It is convenient to place a retractable bottle holder in the immediate vicinity of the workplace. From it you can always quickly get liquid seasoning, aromatic sauce, vegetable oil, a bottle of vinegar and other things that a home cook cannot do without;
- Next to the hob it is worth placing cargo for storing frying pans, baking sheets, and numerous ladles. A housewife who loves to cook and knows a lot about preparing delicious food will appreciate the functionality of cargo;
- Not far from the worktop you can install a retractable metal basket with two, three or four shelves. The height of the cargo sections allows you to place home canned goods, bottles of drinks, and various cereals;
- It is convenient to store washing powders, cleaning products and other chemicals near the sink to keep dishes and the kitchen area clean. If a washing machine or dishwasher is installed in the kitchen, it is also convenient to place such storage near them;
- a classic bottle holder in which alcoholic drinks are stored should be located as close as possible to the dining area. This sectional design for horizontal or vertical storage of bottles performs the function of a traditional bar.
Some owners like to install cargo inside wall cabinets, while others arrange storage in lower cabinets.
The choice of the optimal option is influenced by the design features of the kitchen unit and the height of the owners. The placement of bottle holders on opposite sides of the hob creates a feeling of visual balance and is perceived as harmonious.
Shelf made of pipes and leather
For this you will need:
- Metal copper pipes;
- Pieces of leather.
It is worth considering that for this product you need to specially order a pipe of the shape you need. We process and hem the pieces of leather and then fasten them to the finished pipe.
Instead of metal pipes, you can use wood material. Most people associate good wine with age: old wine is good wine, and therefore highly prized.
You can use a design hack that will give the shelf an old look. That is, your shelf can be artificially aged. To do this, you need to cover the product with stain, let it dry and then sand it with zero-grit sandpaper. The result will be scuffs that will give the shelf an old look.
As for choosing a product for independent construction, there are a great many options: you can choose either a familiar and fairly simple design or an original, intricate and complex one. It all depends on your preferences, desires and home design.

The second name for the hardware option we are considering is ball guides, since the system moves on small balls, which ensure smooth running and durability of the structures. Let's figure out what product options are available, and then consider the model range presented on the market.
Main types
All telescopic options are divided according to the following characteristics:
Possibility of disassembly. There are both collapsible and non-dismountable options; the second option is not suitable, since the element in it cannot be disassembled and it is difficult to remove such a box. But the vast majority of options on the market are collapsible, so there will be no problems with repairs.
The design consists of three main components shown in the diagram
Number of steps. Depending on the extension length, structures are divided into two-section and multi-section. If everything is clear with the first option, then the second is much more complex in design, so you should disassemble it more carefully. But as for the installation and removal process, there is no fundamental difference; if you understand the topic, you will be able to service all types.
Multi-section options extend to a much greater distance than two-section options
Presence of a closer. This element makes the use of furniture more convenient, because the drawers themselves are pressed to the end and become the way they need to be. Of course, models with a closer are noticeably more expensive than simple options without this element. What you choose in the end is up to you, both solutions are quite reliable, there is not much difference in quality.
The closer is a special plastic block on the outer edge of the structure
The guides also differ in the degree of extension of the elements; there are three main options:
| Illustration | Description |
| Partial extension systems. A standard solution in which the element does not come out completely; a small part of it remains inside the housing, as shown in the photo. These are the cheapest products, which are similar in operating principle to standard roller products, although in terms of reliability they are significantly superior to this analogue. Their use is justified if you do not need full access to the internal cavity. | |
| Full extension designs. This type allows full access to the contents of the drawer, which is very convenient. Naturally, the reliability of the system is an order of magnitude higher than that of the first option, since it must withstand higher loads. Most often this is a multi-stage system, since it is impossible to ensure a large guide stroke using two units. | |
| Super full extension telescopic guides. This option allows the drawers to extend beyond the surface of the furniture façade, providing the best access to the contents. Such fittings are usually used in high-capacity elements; they can withstand high loads, but are also significantly more expensive than the analogues described above. |
Guide dimensions
On sale you can find different sizes of telescopic systems:
| Illustration | Description |
Height 17 mm. The most compact option with the following characteristics:
| |
Height 27-30 mm. This option is more reliable and has the following characteristics:
| |
| Height 35 mm. According to the main characteristics, this type of fittings resembles the type described above, so it makes no sense to list all its main features. The only significant difference is the permissible load, here it is already 20 kg. | |
Height 45 mm. The most common and popular solution today, which has a number of advantages:

Pros Cons A kitchen in a niche allows you to visually increase the space and save useful space, which is especially important for small apartments. The smell of cooking spreads throughout the room. Since the kitchen area is always visible, it is necessary to maintain perfect order in it, for example, do not leave dirty dishes, keep surfaces clean, etc.
It is a modern solution that allows you to create an original design. In the case of individual redevelopment, difficulties may arise regarding how to move water supply, gas and ventilation systems. Also, such a decision requires registration and approval from a BTI technician.
