Do I have to store in the upright position or can I store it in a different position & can I also use it on non-corks bottles

Store any position you want. You can use any bottle the stopper fits tight into, it will not draw a vacuum if it is loose.

Hi Jennifer, I use the stoppers on both cork & non-cork bottle types. As far as the positioning of the bottle, I never tried to store sideways. Lisa

I've never had a leak when storing a wine bottle on its side. However, keep in mind these aren't perfect sealing devices as some air does escape slowly over a few days. But they're better than most other options. I can only assume that if the stopper fits tightly into any other type of bottle, it would also hold a seal.

I don't think I would trust the seal enough in my opinion. They work really well but only keep the wine good for a few days. Basically so you can have a glass with dinner each night or something. After about 4 or 5 days I noticed the wine doesn't taste that good anymore. Works great on non - cork bottles too if the mouth of the bottle is the same as a corked bottle.

As to storing the bottle, once the vacuum has been applied, you can keep it on its side or upright. i have not tried it on non-cork bottles, so, unfortunately I cannot answer that question.

Yes you can. We have had the fridge for two months now. Wine bottles fit perfectly on their side. And just to be clear, they fit perfectly, front to back, no weird diagonal storage needed. Beer bottles also fit fine, no problem front to back. I read one of the other comments and just wanted to update my first sentence.

You don't have to, no. The holes are kind of small and it would look good with sparkly paper kind of wadded up inside. The hole in the back is pretty big, so corks fall out, anyway.

I don't store the bottle if it has water inside -- if it has water in it, I let it sit upright, not on its side or upside down. I haven't had problems with leaking, the water flows freely when I turn it upside down, and comes out at a slower flow if it's on its side, but to my understanding it's working as expected. Pour the water out or as another answer says, keep the original bottle cap to keep the bottle sealed.

I put them in the side door of the fridge, where they didn't stand up straight, but weren't quite vertical either. If you leave the inch of space at the top (don't fill completely) and push the cap on tight -- I don't think you'd have an issue -- I didn't. Good luck.

It doesn't really "fold" for storage, but if you lift it from the back end, you can roll it around on the wheels at the front (water tank) end and then tip it straight up to store it vertically...in a corner or against a wall. It should stand on its own. (Note: make sure your cork is securely in the water tank!)

The corks are straight not flared. If you can push it back into the neck of the bottle then it's not a tight seal and you'll see the wine flavor changed. There are wine cork machine you could use to recork the bottle, but that's another $20 or so and have to be reworked every time it was opened.

Yes, if you place the rack in an upright position (i.e., 3 shelves), the corks will stay wet. When in a horizontal position (2 shelves), the corks will remain wet only for the bottles on the top (second) shelf. Nevertheless, I find the racks -- I have two -- convenient and very useful.

HI Santoyo ! The person who responded first, already said basically what I was about to recommend ! Even suggesting the video ! No point in repeating !! The only thing I can imagine that might lead you to damage the bottle and not just the cork, as the cork issue happens to me, is that the cork is of a very hard type and is very stuck in there, as it HAS happened to me, but not to the point of damage !! ........... CHERERS my friend and mull this over a nice Cab !!

If the bottle is tall and slim, I usually take the middle shelf out and lay the bottle on the bottom on an angle. If the bottle is short and fat, same thing. It will fit without being on an angle.

The Outset Wine Stopper is the best thing I have seen to protect the wine in the bottle. It is not like a cork -take it out and it will not fit but with this wine stopper product, it is easy to put in and take out with ease I keep it in the frig upright. I hope I answered your question.

>Sure can, all shells are remove-able, just not adjustable .Well hang on there. The bottom is NOT FLAT, each bottom position (so four, two each in each zone) has a depression (which by the way not only serves to conform to a bottle laying on its side but also has an EXTREMELY practical advantage: if a bottle were to leak (open bottle with a less-than-tight recorking) the depression acts as a catch basin and holds at least some amount of leaked wine. But to the point, the bottom is curved not flat and depending on the diameter of the bottle it might have trouble standing up. You could always put something flat in there to act as a shelf, though. >Sure can, all shells are remove-able, just not adjustable .Well hang on there.

Sideways, yes. the product dimensions are listed in the product description, so I would suggest referencing that, including the bag height, and see if your bottles are too tall to stand upright.

can you take out shelves in the bottom to stand an open wine bottle up OR does it allow you to place the bottle on the shelve with a wine cork stopper?

Mine is placed on the right side of the bar. I slide my bottle out the top . The "wraps" only hold the bottle in place. Love it

If you want to place the open bottle vertically it will demand many shelves to be pulled out. To take them away you need to open the door for almost 180 degrees. SO you need to have a lot of open space near the side walls. If you install the ref under the counter near the cabinets ( as I did ) , it would not be comfortable to take out the shelves.

I have mine setting on the same surface with the bottle. Works just fine. Should not be a problem above, on same shelf or below, it has a self-priming positive displacement pump.
