Help, got a simple question

[zember311]

I at this moment don't have enough bottles around to answer this one.


If you took 9 750 ml bottles and put them in a square, what are the length of the sides ?


Looking to start a simple weekend project of making a wine rack out of diamond shapes and each cell to hold 9 bottles.


Figured some one out here has to have 9 bottles laying around

The smaller bottles would be 9x9 inches tight. Some bottles are 10 1/2 x 10 1/2 tight. But you are pritty safe at 10 1/2 x 10 1/2. Very few are that big. I try to keep the smaller bottles so I made mine 10 x 10

About 9x9" rounded off. If you want a bit of wiggle room, make it 10x10. Usually you will stack 3-2-3 or 4-3-4, et which will be a bit shorter. Check Scuba's Wine Diamond rack.

Come to think of it, the larger diamiter 750ml bottles are burgundy style, and they do not stack well any way.

99.9999% of the bordeaux and claret bottles will fit very well in a 10x10. The one in a million that does not fit will be found holding a $1,000 bottle of wine and you should build a custom rack just for it.
