Loading Bottles - La Sommeliere CTVE142A Notice D'utilisation

LOADING BOTTLES

The maximum amount of bottles able to be stored which is given, is only given as an indication, done in factory and is not
contractual. This indication (as with the capacity in liters of a refrigerator) is to give a quick estimation of the size of the product.
This indication corresponds to tests done with a standard bottle: the bottle type "Bordeaux tradition 75 cl" (the standardized
classification contains for each bottle a geographic origin (Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Provence,...), and a type (traditional, heavy, light,
flute,...) each with its own specific height and diameter.
In fact, one could store more bottles by stacking a single type of bottle. But a "varied" cabinet is made up of a large variety of bottles
and the "practical" side of the daily use of a cabinet limits the number of bottles stored. Most probably, a few less bottles will be
stored than the indicated amount.
For example, if the cellar is filled only with bottles of burgundy, there will be approximately 30% fewer bottles than the initial
quantity calculated for Bordeaux
Any added shelf will decrease the loading capacity.
