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.
In reality and in extreme cases, you could store more bottles by stacking the same type of bottle without using shelves, but a
varied cellar comprises a wide variety of bottles and the practical aspect of everyday cellar management limits its capacity.
You will therefore probably load the appliance a little less than the recommended maximum.
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.
