Would it also be possible to turn this upside down and stack bottles while they carbonate? Or would milk crates be better?

I just grab an empty beer case box every now and then when I buy a six pack from the local liquor store. They know I homebrew and always have spare boxes around to give.

They would extend below the bottom so you couldn't set the bottle upright. The top is universal though and they would technically fit there. Alternatively you could use 4 Oz liners in the 8 Oz bottles. Then you would just feel like the bottle is huge until switching to 8 Oz liners.

You could do this, provided the space was just barely wider than the containers on their sides. As others have said, they're flat, so they stack, but there's nothing holding them together, so if they have room to move, they'll move. When you stack them normally, the feet on the top container slot into slots in the underneath container, so they are solidly connected.

I think it would be too big. This is taller than a 20 oz soda bottle. You can easily fit 6 of these bottles in it with room left over. I think you would need something smaller. Hope this helps

Not really. I would not stack them. There are no notches or groves for them to stay put. I would be afraid of one sliding off the other and the lid is not all that sturdy to bear a lot of weight.

I've seen people put it both ways and in fact, I did not place it vertically and wish I had. Evidently, it would have covered more surface area of the wort giving the thermometer a chance to sort of measure more of the carboy (or bucket as I use both from time to time). Once mine fall off, and they have not after at least 10 batches, I will put them vertically. Of course, if you're using a better bottle or any PET container, vertical is not an option based on the shape of the PET container.

No. You'd break the lever trying. If it were beefed up some maybe. Denting the bottles might help too.

Depends on the situation. Definitely stackable but I'd probably strap these to the wall if I doubled down. Strapping similar to a water heater would work and wouldn't cost much. Drink more save less???? Just sayin (I mean kidding). Definitely ok to stack but if the value of the wine is high a little strapping would go a long ways.

I just moved so these are packed away at the moment. My best guess is that yes you can stack them by taking off the black plastic couplers and rearranging. Have I tried it? No. Also personally I would be worried about the stability of a single column of 4 wine bottles on its own. If they're enclosed on both sides then it probably would be fine.

You can stack the bottles on top of each other, there is plenty of room to stack two high and even higher.

I supposeYou could always just cut off the top/bottom (like when you're low on toothpaste) and store in an air right container. Granted I have never used the product or know how strong the bottle is, but it seems like a practical solution.

It really needs to be hung - or anchored somehow to the vertical surface. I would think that once you get bottles in the top shelf, you run the risk of it toppling - and breaking bottles of polish.

You'd definitely be able to fit the bottles plus a couple small ice packs to keep them cold all day. I think if you arranged it well, you could fit the flanges at the top and the little pieces could fit in between things.

You can stack 2 by turning one upside down. More than that is not possible.

I can't add much to the prior four answers, except to say that the answer from "L. Higgins" is the most complete and descriptive. I have four of these, not stacked but side-by-side, on the floor of my pantry, under a shelf. As mentioned, the top of each 'crate' is designed to store 3 more bottles, but would not secure the bottles in event of any serious jostling. I'm very happy with my Storvino wine storage containers, and the price was reasonable. Recommended!

Yes, what a great idea! Just put all the tall heavy liquor bottles on the bottom shelf. Good luck,

No. Too small. Strong though. They are too thin or bottle cap. Could probably do it if you doubled it up or even tripled them by stacking .
