VintageView

Overview

VintageView produces metal wine racks designed to display bottles label-forward, modernizing wine storage for residential, hospitality, and retail settings. Founded in 2001, it serves design professionals with modular systems that integrate into various spaces and has expanded internationally.¹²⁶

History

Doug McCain founded VintageView in 2001 in his garage in Castle Rock, Colorado, after developing a label-forward wine rack prompted by a personal wine theft discovery. The company received a U.S. patent for its W Series in 2006 and grew through product additions and international manufacturing ties. In 2009, McCain partnered with Charles Malek, who took leadership while McCain continued product development; systems now store over 4 million bottles worldwide.³⁶
