Stemware is awkward to store — here are 9 solutions for small kitchens.
My top pick: Wine glasses are mostly air and they still take up a whole shelf. These are the ways round that.
1. Stemless Glasses
Stack-friendly and shelf-efficient. Shop stemless wine glasses set on Amazon →
2. Short-Stem Glasses
A reduced stem that still reads formal. Shop short stem wine glasses on Amazon →
3. Under-Shelf Stemware Rack
A rack that hangs glasses beneath a shelf. Shop under shelf stemware rack on Amazon →
4. Wall-Mounted Glass Rack
Hanging storage on the wall. Shop wall mounted wine glass rack on Amazon →
5. Stackable Glassware
Glasses designed to nest. Shop stackable wine glasses on Amazon →
6. Padded Storage Box
A divided box for occasion glasses in a cupboard. Shop stemware storage box padded on Amazon →
7. Universal Glass Only
Owning one shape instead of four. Shop universal wine glasses set on Amazon →
8. Cabinet Shelf Riser

9. Buying Fewer, Better

The bottom line
Under-shelf racks are the single best small-kitchen fix — they use dead space. Failing that, own one universal shape and stop there.
