The main requirement when developing a kitchen design is its functionality. The furniture should be conveniently located, as should the appliances in the kitchen. Kitchen functionality can be achieved with properly designed storage sections. They store bottles and various packages of products. Quick access to them will save energy and time in the kitchen. In the article we will look at what a bottle holder for the kitchen is (as one of the storage options), its varieties, and methods of fastening.
Why do you need a bottle holder in the kitchen?
- The bottle maker (cargo) is very loved by its owners.
- The functional purpose of the installed compact box-basket is to store containers with various products.
- A bottle holder for the kitchen allows you to make maximum use of space when designing a kitchen set.
- Installed in a convenient place, it saves time and effort during the cooking process.
The convenient arrangement of the bottles allows you to quickly, without distraction from cooking, get the desired liquid or spices. There is no need to look for the required container among other products. All actions are performed almost mechanically.
By choosing a certain order for installing the bottles, you can avoid closing the drawer at all during cooking. You will have a pull-out chef's table. All tools are at hand, which creates great convenience. At the end, with one movement of the hand, the space is freed by pushing it into place. In this case, the bottle holder is placed near the stove.
The second shelf usually stores kitchen supplies that are hard to find a place for. In this case, the cargo is placed closer to the sink.
Why is it needed?
A bottle holder or cargo holder is a retractable or roll-out design included in the kitchen cabinet system. It is not included in the basic package of inexpensive headsets, but many users order cargo separately.
The advantages of the design are obvious:
- compactness;
- the ability to place bottles and other containers of any height and volume;
- mobility;
- ease of use;
- ease of installation and dismantling;
- variety of models and style solutions.
The main disadvantage of cargo systems is their high price. You can save money by making a bottle holder yourself or ordering an internal module from the simplest materials.
Modules for bottles can be built into ready-made cabinets; there is no need to buy new cabinets. The structure can be placed in “dead zones” that are difficult to use, for example, in corners. The roll-out bottle holder fits perfectly into narrow openings and gaps between standard cabinets. It can easily fit behind the false panel and will help save scarce space.
Ready-made or homemade bottle holders are needed for storing various containers that are inconvenient to place on regular shelves and drawers. The narrow panels are equipped with high sides to prevent accidental falls.
In the bottle holder you can store stocks of cereals and spices, various vertical packages, napkins, cutlery and other necessary little things.
In furniture and household departments it is easy to purchase special holders for narrow bottles, lids, baking sheets, and paper towels.
A correctly selected roll-out module will allow you to maintain order in the kitchen, relieve work surfaces and organize the contents of cabinets.
Kitchen bottle sizes
Cargo width is an important criterion when choosing fittings. The size of the bottle holder depends on its location in the kitchen, taking into account its use. Bottle holders come in large, medium and standard.
- Average cargo parameters are 100-200 mm with an interval of 50 mm. Store price tags indicate the size of the box into which the product itself is inserted. A bottle holder with a width of 200 mm will fit into a cabinet with the same width. Designed for jars and small dishes.
- Large cargo sizes range from 200 to 450 mm. They are used to store dishes or kitchen appliances.
- Standard: no more than 100 mm wide. Saves space in the kitchen. The bottle holder lives up to its name and is intended for storing bottles.
The popular design dimensions are 150, 200, 250 mm. Very narrow bottle holders for the kitchen are not convenient for placing containers.

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.
Varieties
The main purpose of installing a bottle holder is to put small accessories in a small closet. The more tiers inside the cargo, the more you can fit. The types according to design features are as follows:
- Two-level. The most convenient option for bottles, especially tall ones. A good choice if you need to “hide” large items.
- Three-level. Bottles will only fit horizontally. But there is more than enough space for napkins and towels.
- Multi-level. Installed in tall column cabinets. This cargo can accommodate all kitchen utensils.
Which model should you choose? For bottles - two-level. The rest of the items will fit on shelves with many tiers.
Mounting options
The method of fastening the cargo also affects its location. There are 2 types of fastening:
- - Bottom mount - the bottle holder can be located anywhere in the kitchen. Used when there is not enough space for side mounting. The rails are installed on the bottom of the kitchen unit or to the floor. Important!!! The floor in the kitchen should be extremely level.
- — Lateral fastening – the structure is attached to the wall of a cabinet of the same size. It is considered a more stable mount. The box that is being rolled out moves along rails located on opposite sides of it.
Depending on the wishes of the owner, cargo is placed in the upper (wall) or lower cabinet.
Bottom cabinet
It is considered the most convenient and popular cargo option. Convenience is explained by the location of things, literally, at hand.
Upper cabinet
Located in the top cabinet. The housewife places rarely used household items. For example, service, jars of cereals.
Column cabinet
First of all, it saves space and provides maximum space for storing kitchen items. It is a pencil case with 4-5 sections. There are several shelves and various types of additional accessories. These can be hooks and pallets. Dimensions are larger than regular cargo. The pencil case is wider and taller than a regular bottle holder for the kitchen.
Autonomous
It can even be placed in the center of the kitchen. Acts as an independent unit of kitchen furniture. In demand precisely because of mobility.
Designer's advice:
- Place cargo in 2 tiers of kitchen furniture.
- For convenience, you can make 2 pull-out baskets - near the stove and the workplace.
- The large kitchen area makes it possible to install a cabinet-case up to the ceiling with a towel holder.
- A small bottle holder for decoration is placed on the table. It stores bottles of alcoholic drinks.
Tips for choosing a convenient bottle holder (cargo)
- Two-tier ones are convenient if high containers will be stored on the lower tier.
- Three-tier bottle holders are convenient for storing a large number of small cans.
- The single-tier bottle holder is convenient because a towel holder is hidden in the upper part. Everything is hidden behind the façade.
Maximum convenience is achieved when the cargo is fully extended. Indeed, in this case, the contents of the shelves and free access to it are clearly visible. The bottle maker will move silently if the fittings have closers.
Half-ring dividers are great for keeping bottles in a stable position on shelves. It is important to decide what cargo weight you are interested in. Narrow ones are designed for up to 12 kg.
The height of the kitchen bottle holder is adjusted by the height of the kitchen owner. The most durable fittings will be those with galvanic chrome plating. The coating must be able to withstand humidity, increased temperature, and exposure to detergents. Cheap fittings will lead to rapid wear and tear of the structure.
If the kitchen has a front design in the form of frames, then for a retractable bottle holder it is still better to have a flat façade. Installation is carried out, in this case, it will be much easier. The bottle holder must fit into the style of the set. After all, the choice you made is not for one year.
Cargo will fill the voids and make your kitchen even more functional. The arrangement of small items in the kitchen will be put in order.
Prices
The pricing policy for seemingly identical drawers varies significantly. The explanation for this lies in the quality of the fittings used and the design brand.
The high price category includes brands from Germany and Austria. Start starts from 10 thousand rubles. The average price for a product ranges from 3 to 10 thousand rubles. (Italy, Poland). Economy options cost 2-3 thousand rubles. and production from China.
If you want to save on an expensive bottle holder, then you need to order without a kitchen set. Otherwise, there is an overpayment for the markup on furniture. It will be cheaper to order in an online store or in construction hypermarkets.
Expensive bottle holders are easy to use. The fittings can withstand heavy loads, tolerate moisture well, and can be closed with a light touch of the hand. Service life is at least 15 years.
An economical option requires effort to extend the structure and return to its original place. Any additional functional elements add value to the bottle holder. So it's up to you to decide what you need to have in your kit.
Drawers
You can store alcohol in drawers, like other kitchen utensils. These can be special boxes for bottles with recesses for the neck or regular boxes in which drinks can be placed in two rows.
If you use the first method, multi-colored lids will add bright accents to a snow-white kitchen.
