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.
Criss-crossing types
Top-to-bottom neck-to-neck:
Note the difference in depth!
Top-to-bottom neck between bottle bodies:
Increased loading.
Verify that you can shut the door without touching a bottle before closing.
-
- When loading several bottles at once, it will take more time for the unit to reach the desired temperature.
Announced capacity
The announced capacity is the maximum capacity calculated
with a defined number of shelves, which varies according to the
model. This standard is calculated with 75cl bottles of the
traditional Bordeaux type. Any other type of bottle size and the
addition of shelves will considerably reduce the storage
capacity.
Below is the loading plan with the maximum announced
capacity.
The capacity of your wine cellar is measured according to the
EN62552 standard.
