without using shelves, but a varied cellar comprises a wide variety of bottles and the practical aspect

Types of bottle:
We see here 4 kinds of 75 cl wine bottles: Burgundy and Bordeaux wine bottles of different
dimensions. There are many others of all shapes and sizes. You will note the storage differences
depending on bottle heights, diameters and alternating position method.

30% fewer bottles than the initial quantity calculated for Bordeaux bottles.
