A simple wine rack can be put together using round clay drain pipe.  I
bought a number of the ~3 inch diameter by about 12 inch long pipes at
a local lumber yard, and they fit 750 ml bottles nicely.  Larger round
and square pipes can be found as well.  Stack them, cordwood style,
either against a wall or in a frame of your devising.  If you place
them in a dark corner of a basement, in contact with the concrete,
you'll get nice, cool, constant temperatures -- good for the wine, I'm
told.

Two drawbacks: they're heavy (not really a problem for me), and they
tend to scratch labels.
