Here is a small sample of bottle size variations and how they can affect your overall bottle capacity. Each of these bottles
are 2 3/4" at the base but have varying shoulders and overall heights.
Bottle A is slightly taller than the average bottle at both the top and at the shoulder. This causes the top of the
rear bottle on the rack to hit the shoulder of the front bottles on the rack so that the bottles do not settle into
the grooves as well. We were able to remove one bottle from the back row, reducing the bottles per shelf to 10
and the overall capacity to 156, and still have the shelves operate smoothly.
Bottle B is taller than the average bottle at both the top and the shoulder. This causes the top of the rear bottle
on the rack to hit the shoulder of the front bottles on the rack and push them too far to either side to have
bottles all the way across the front of the rack. We were able to fit 8 bottles on a shelf, with one bottle in front
and another bottle in the back, then skipping a groove before adding another bottle in the front. With 8 bottles
per shelf, it reduces the overall capacity to 126 bottles, if your entire collection were this size.
Bottle C is the ideal bottle size. The bottles are just short enough that the neck of the back bottles fit between
the shoulders of the front bottles without touching. This allows you to fit 11 bottles on the top 15 racks with a
total capacity of 171 bottles.
Bottle D also works well. It is 2 3/4" wide at the base, but 3 1/4" wide at the shoulder. The grooves are spaced
enough that the shoulder will touch the bottle next to it, but the height still allows you to fit all 11 bottles on a
shelf for the full 171 bottle capacity.
We understand that every collection is different, and we hope that providing this information will help you determine
how your collection will work with this product.
This wine cellar has 15 shelves that can hold up to 11
bottles each and the bottom shelf can hold 6 bottles for a
maximum bottle capacity of 171 bottles. The maximum
capacity is based on the standard Bordeaux size bottle.
Your total bottle capacity may vary depending upon the
size of the bottles in your collection. Refer to the
information below for more specific information about
how bottle sizes may affect your total bottle count.
