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.

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.
The capacity of your wine cellar is measured according to the EN62552 standard.
For the reference CBU20S2B, the maximum capacity has been calculated with 5 shelves.
