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.
Multi-position shelf:
This cellar is equipped with a new shelf giving you two possibilities to store your bottles.
•
You can store your bottles in the traditional way, with two rows of bottles :
This way, you store a maximum of bottle in your wine cellar.
•
You can also coose to put the labels of your bottles forward by placing the labels parallel to the front of your shelf :
You can in this case put fewer bottles on a shelf, but putting forward your labels will highlight your bottle and your wine
cellar.
NOTE : You can of course alternate the storage of your bottles with the 4 shelves.
