7 Organizing Your Wine Cabinet
Capacity indications assigned to the various Avintage wine cabinet models are given
for guideline purposes. They will help you make your choice according to your
desires and your available space. These capacities are defined today based on a
standard bottle of the “Bordeaux 75cl tradition” type. In reality, you will probably be
collecting bottles of different shapes and sizes. For practical reasons, it is likely that
you will fill your wine cabinet with a smaller number of bottles than the maximum
number it can hold.
For example, if a wine cabinet is loaded only with Burgundy wine bottles, there will be
approximately 30% fewer bottles than the initial quantity calculated for Bordeaux
bottles.
Another important effect on loading is the number of wine bottle shelves: An
additional wine bottle shelf is equivalent to the loss of one to two bottle layers.
You can add more sliding shelves in your wine cabinet if you want. Please just take
into consideration the reduced bottle quantities you will be able to store.
Do not forget to take this aspect into consideration if you wish to have a functional
wine cabinet
and add a large number of wine bottle shelves; you will have to decide
between capacity and practicality!
