I use yellow pine for my construction projects (dividing up the basement)

white pine but it was in the hardwood section. It looked much better than
yellow pine. It is also much cheaper than red oak.

How does white pine compare to yellow pine regarding warping? I want to use
white pine in the construction of a wine cabinet. The white pine will be
used for the bottle supports.

I don't know about using it in cabinet construction. As far
as the differences go, it has less warping than yellow pine,
but still has a tendency to warp. It is not as strong as
yellow pine structurally. When there is a need for structural
framing, yellow pine is spec'd for its strength. You are not
allowed to substitute white pine.
