Do you need more wine storage?

Hand-picked for this exact result — no generic lists.

Measure once. Trust the estimate.

This calculator assumes standard Bordeaux bottles standing upright.

  1. Measure the clear height.

    Bottles stand 30 cm tall — you need 32 cm of clearance to lift them in and out.

  2. Check the depth.

    9 cm is enough for a single row; deeper shelves can hold two rows or lying bottles.

  3. Count 7.6 cm per bottle.

    That includes a finger of air between bottles.

  4. Mind the weight.

    A full row of wine is heavy — 10 bottles weigh ~13 kg. Respect the shelf's load limit.

Worked example

One concrete case, with the assumptions spelled out.

80 cm wide, 3 rows

At 7.6 cm per bottle, one row holds 10 bottles. Three rows give 30 bottles standing.

ƒ(x)per row = floor(shelf width ÷ 7.6)
