The indicated maximum numbers of bottles which can be stored are only
reference numbers to give you an idea of how many bottles the
appliance can hold (the same as the capacity in litres for refrigerators).
The numbers were ascertained in tests carried out with a sample bottle:
the bottle for "Bordeaux light 75 cl" (the standard shows the geographic
origin for each bottle shape - Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence, etc. - and
a type - traditional, heavy, light, flute, etc. - each with its own specific
diameter and height).
Theoretically, in an extreme case, more bottles could be stored by
stacking a single type of bottle without shelves, but a "varied" collection
of wines is made up of a large variety of bottles and the practical
handling of such a collection limits the number of bottles stored in the
wine refrigerator.
You will probably store fewer bottles than the
maximum number indicated.
Bottle types
Here you see different 75-cl bottles of Burgundy and Bordeaux wine with
different dimensions.
There are of course many other shapes and contents.
There are different methods for storing the bottles depending on the
height, diameter and method of mixing the bottles.
For example, if you only fill the wine refrigerator with Burgundy wine, you
will remain below the quantity calculated for Bordeaux wine by about 30
%.
