7. LOADING
The advertised capacity is measured according to the EN62552 standard. This standard is
calculated with 75cl traditional Bordeaux type bottles. Any other type of bottle format as well
as the addition of shelves will considerably reduce the storage capacity. The maximum
capacity is calculated with a defined number of shelves which vary according to the models.
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.
For example, if a wine cellar is loaded only with Burgundy wine bottles, there will be
approximately 30% fewer bottles than the initial quantity calculated for Bordeaux bottles.
