Wine is sexy. So why hide it?

For centuries, in fact since Jesus was drinking wine, storing wine meant tucking it away into a dark place, or hideously displaying it inside of the wine storage units sold millions of times to consumers around the world. Thanks to the power and reach of Kickstarter, the world’s largest funding platform for creative projects, wine lovers can now proudly display their favorite wines and collections through STACT’s modular wine wall.

STACT brings an entire new meaning to how consumers can enjoy and celebrate their wine collections. Today’s traditional wine racks and storage units focus on themselves, instead of the bottle. With STACT, each bottle sits, comfortably in its own space, as if suspended in mid-air. Cradled by two precision-machined extrusions made of aircraft-grade aluminum, they give bottles a secure place of prominence.
