Handcrafted Wooden Wine Rack Gift

A Floating Wine Bottle?

See the Gravity Trick in Action

Our handcrafted wooden wine holders defy gravity and spark conversation. Learn how they work, why wood choice matters, and how to get your own piece of functional art.

What Is a Balancing Wine Bottle Holder?

A balancing wine holder uses just one angled piece of wood and the weight of a full wine bottle to create perfect equilibrium. The neck of the bottle slips into a carefully placed hole, and the base tilts forward — making the bottle look like it’s floating.
But it’s not magic — it’s physics. The angle, hole position, and wood density all determine whether it will stand or fall. Each holder is hand-tested and tuned for balance.

Why the Wood Type Matters

Wood Density Affects Balance

Not all woods behave the same. We craft our holders primarily from red oak, a medium-density hardwood that offers consistent balance and visual appeal.

If you’re using a lighter wood like pine or cedar, the balance point shifts significantly. The hole might need to be drilled farther back or at a steeper angle to achieve stability.

Precision matters — especially when you’re defying gravity.

Technical Drawing & Formula

Want to build one yourself? Here’s a general layout — but bear in mind, your material selection will change the required geometry.

Technical Diagram: Wine Bottle Holder in White Pine

• Hole center: ~7″ to 8″ from the base.
• Tilt angle: ~55° (may vary from 50° to 60°)
• Hole diameter: Sized to fit standard wine bottle necks snugly (~1.25″)
• Material: Calibrated for White Pine (lightweight)

Reminder: Heavier woods = shallower angle. Lighter woods = steeper angle.
If the center of gravity isn’t in the right place, your bottle will tip forward or backward.
