What is the maximum diameter of a wine bottle that can be stored in the rack? I find the reports by type too vague, because sizes vary by vintner.

3" bottle fit, but no larger. About 1/2 of the bottles that we have purchased are larger.Additionally, after a 1.5 years, it struggles to keep cool. (Our house sometimes gets up to 80 degrees)It is "OK", but I will not chose this brand again.

All normal sized bottles will fit. I am not sure of the exact size but I have put some Pinot Noir bottles in as well that are a little larger in diameter. Champagne bottles will not fit or anything too big. I have not had any issues fitting any of my wine collection in.

When measuring the diameter of the bottom of the bottle, 3 inches or smaller fits comfortably. Of the many different bottles we have stored in the cooler, only one has not fit; it measured 3 1/4."

11 inches is the max circumference. The size of a standard Absolut Vodka 1 Liter bottle is perfect, and then anything smaller. It holds the standard Club Soda bottles nicely with just a touch of room. They are really handy! We keep those tiny 'airline' bottles of wine in the house for my FIL who likes a particular brand of wine that comes in those and he doesn't drink enough to warrant getting the larger bottles. We pyramid 3 of those on each side, and because those are short we can store small items in the racks behind them. I love these!! Wanted them for our wine but we are using them for so much more! 11 inches is the max circumference. The size of a standard Absolut Vodka 1 Liter bottle is perfect, and then anything smaller.

You can only get standard size wine bottles in it. Larger bottles are a squeeze.

Well I use regular wine bottle, so? But the opening is 3 7/8 x 3 7/8, if that helps you any. But the rack itself is solid and looks vary nice. Well built.

The racks are easy to use, but the door has to be open all the way to get them out. If all the racks are in, larger bottles (large wine, Champagne) have to go in the very bottom, and there is only room for three, because they will not fit in the other racks. This is my only issue with the racks, other than that, regular wine bottles (750ml) and Pelligrino fit in nicely.

They fit most any normal size wine bottle. We have 10 different red wine bottles in ours and they vary in size. I think there were a couple larger bottles (not magnums, but larger than normal) that didn't fit, but the rest fit great.

The bottom of the drawer is curved, so the front opening for the wine rack varies from 5 inches on the sides down to 4 inches in the middle.I checked, and there was space on the sides to put a 1.75 L square-bottomed liquor bottle on the rack.

Champagne bottles tend to be wider at the bottom than wine bottles. Unless your champagne bottles are shaped like typical wine bottles, my guess is you will lose space for 1 bottle per row. As far as beer, same thing, if the shape is wider than wine bottles, you will lose capacity. The capacity stated really is for typical shaped wine bottles. Anything different will throw off your capacity.

I had the same problem...first of all you have to find out what size opening at the top of the bottle that you going to be using. I googled carboy sizes for wine making, and it took me to a site where it gave me the different sizes. That way you'll know exactly what size you need. These particular car boys are good for one gallon plastic containers like the ones you buy your milk in. Hope that helps you out

We have used the wine bottle sealer without any trouble. I don't know why you would be having trouble unless the outside diameter of the bottle type is too wide.

Yes wine can be stored in this unit. As to how many, That depends on the size bottle.

I'm not sure The bottles would have to be close to the standard wine bottle size to fit. If too short, definitely won't work.

A wine bottle will not stand up or lay down in the cooler. How ever you cab fit one wine bottle leaning from corner to corner. Only one. You would have room left for some smaller items and some ice.

The racks are spaced exactly the right distance vertically for the 750 ml bottles. If you took out some shelves maybe. Each shelf holds 5 "regular" bottles in a 3 facing out 2 facing in (or vice versa) configuration. One thing I ran into though is that one of the winemakers we really like uses tall, skinny bottles, so in that configuration, I have to find other wines that use shorter bottles to get 5 on a shelf.

I put one of those big bottles of red wine on it. It is holding it well. I guess its about the size of a champagne bottle. Hope this helps , love the racks. I bought two.

p.s. mine lasted only around a year before it conked out. I'd suggest looking around for a different, more reliable model. Keep in mind also that the shelves are designed to fit ONLY your classic regular type of wine bottle. Anytime you have something like a red with a wider base (like a lot of California wines) or champagne, you have to jam it in or else remove a shelf. Why they didn't think of this is a mystery to me. But it makes sense given how shoddy my machine was.

it will hold a standard 750mL bottle of wine. Anything with a large round bottom like a champagne bottle or larger 1.5L bottles will not fit in this. Pinot and Chardonnay will be fine as long as they're normal bottles.
