7. LOADING
The maximum recommended loading quantities for bottles are given as guidelines and are indicative only;
they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to the capacity of a refrigerator
expressed in liters).
They correspond to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the standard "75 cl light Bordeaux" bottle
-standards apply the geographical origin of each bottle shape (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence, etc.) and a
type (traditional, heavy, light, flute, etc.), each with its own diameter and height.
These caves present bottles of wine, thanks to the highlighting of the labels of each wine. You will
find below the plan of loading of your bottles on a clay, knowing that it is possible to put up to 9
bottles on a shelf.
