As a general rule of thumb, you want to keep your metal floor standing wine racks approximately 60-80% full at all times for the most aesthetic or visual benefit.
In order to figure out how many bottles of wine you should put in your rack, keep a count of the amount of wine bottles your rack can hold when full (e.g., 20) and keep 14-16 bottles of wine in it at all times. This is best for stability as well.
The best spot to place a metal floor standing wine rack is, of course, your cellar, if you have one.
Alternatively, to maintain the best conditions for your wine, you could consider a large closet or other sheltered areas like the section underneath the stairs.
If you were hoping to display your metal floor standing wine rack in one of your main rooms, just be sure to keep it away from kitchen appliances and direct sunlight.
How high a floor standing wine rack should get depends on the amount of wine you want to store, the types of wine and the space you have available for the rack. First, measure the height of the space where the rack will be located so you can ascertain the maximum height your wine rack can be.
A wine rack for just four bottles is likely to be of much lower height than one holding 180 bottles. Also, some wine racks are designed to hold bottles at a more horizontal-leaning angle than a vertical-leaning one which will be a factor in overall rack height. So for a six-feet high rack that stretches 12-feet wide, you could accommodate about 570 standard size wine bottles.
