I recently built an inexpensive wine rack for my cellar.  The parts
cost about $30, and the finished wine rack has a capacity of 45
bottles.  I constructed it by building two wooden frames that
look basically like this:

                |  |                              |  |
                |  |                              |  |
                +--+------------------------------+--+
                +--+------------------------------+--+
                |  |                              |  |
                |  |                              |  |
                |  |                              |  |
                +--+------------------------------+--+
                |**                                **|
                +------------------------------------+

comprised of 5 two-by-fours (each) of about 3.5 feet in length.  Three 3' x 1'
particle boards were then bolted to the crossbeams forming a set of three
shelves.  Finally, I obtained a set of four 10' long, 4.5" dia plastic
tubes from a building materials store ($3.50 each).  I cut the tubes
(they cut EASILY with a hacksaw) into 10" lengths.  On each shelf I stacked
one row of 8 tubes, and one row of 7 tubes.  The resulting wine rack is
convenient, sturdy, and ugly as hell.  Fortunately, it fits in a dark closet
in the basement.
